30-Aug-2000 -- When browsing through the listing of confluences on this web site, one notices how few confluences in the U.S. are inside of urban areas. Even though most Americans live in cities, the land use of the country is still primarily rural or undeveloped. This confluence is one of the exceptions. It is located in a residential area of St. Paul about 5 miles northwest of downtown St. Paul. The actual confluence point is located in the middle of the front lawn shown in the picture.
