Description: known lakes that are within or share a border with the city of Blaine that have been determined by the MN DNR. These features are updated on a as needed basis. The last update was April 2017. The city borders between the cities of Blaine and Spring Lake Park crosses through Laddie Lake which is located between S1/2 Sec 32 Twp 31 Rng 23 on the Blaine side and N1/2 Sec 1 Twp 30 Rng 24 on the Spring Lake Park side.

Description: National Wetland Inventory (NWI) data for Minnesota provide information on the location, extent, and type of Minnesota wetlands. Natural resource managers use NWI data to improve the management, protection, and restoration of wetlands. Wetlands provide many ecological benefits including habitat for fish and wildlife, reducing floods, recharging, improving water quality, and supporting recreation.These data were updated through a decade-long, multi-agency collaborative effort under leadership of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR). Major funding was provided by the Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund.This is the first statewide update of the NWI for Minnesota since the original inventory in the mid-1980s. The work was completed in phases by dividing the state into five project areas. Those project areas have all been edgematched into a final seamless statewide dataset.Ducks Unlimited (Ann Arbor, MI) and St. Mary’s University Geospatial Services (Winona, MN) conducted the wetland mapping and classification under contract to the MNDNR. The Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Laboratory at the University of Minnesota provided support for methods development and field validation. The DNR Resource Assessment Office provided additional support for data processing, field checking, and quality control review.The updated NWI data delineate and classify wetlands according to the system developed by Cowardin et al. (1979), which is consistent with the original NWI. The updated data also contain a simplified plant community classification (SPCC) and a simplified hydrogeomorphic (HGM) classification. Quality assurance of the data included visual inspection, automated checks for attribute validity and topologic consistency, as well as a formal accuracy assessment based on an independent field verified data set. Further details on the methods employed can be found in the technical procedures document for this project located on the project website (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/eco/wetlands/nwi_proj.html).
