Ramsey County, Minnesota, USA

Waterways and roads cross lakes, wetlands, wooded parkland and mature suburban neighborhoods, linking the county’s communities and working landscapes. Local history was shaped by Dakota homelands, milling and railroad growth, followed by postwar suburban expansion, influences that remain part of the county’s cultural landscape.
