1994 infrared photo of the Mississippi River between Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

  • North is up.
  • Dark red is vegetation while bluish-green is roads, asphalt, and buildings.
  • The Ford Parkway Bridge crosses the river just north of Lock and Dam No. 1, between the Ford Twin Cities Assembly Plant on the right, and Minnehaha Park on the left.
  • A pooled Minnehaha Creek is the narrow dark curved shape in the upper left, becoming narrower as it crosses Highway 55 eastward into the tree-covered park.
  • Minnehaha Falls is one-fourth of the way along a line between the creek's entrance to the park, to Lock and Dam 1. A light blue area is a parking lot and observation area which is just east (right) of the falls.
  • The bridge southeast of the falls which crosses the Minnehaha Creek ravine provided access to the Veterans Home area, and has since been closed.
