Minneapolis Map Art
Minneapolis's grid divides cleanly at the Mississippi River, which loops through downtown in a dramatic horseshoe bend. The city spreads in cardinal directions from this spine, with lakes dotting the western neighborhoods—Calhoun, Isles, Cedar—connected by the Grand Rounds scenic drive. The former industrial riverfront and the Chain of Lakes district create two distinct mapped geographies, one vertical, one dispersed.
