Crystal Lake Cemetery, Minneapolis, 
Minn., is making a very interesting and 
successful use of the relief-map of their 
grounds, illustrated here. This photograph 
is taken from a papier-mache map 5 feet 
long by 31-4 feet wide, showing the true 
topography of the 175 acre tract. The 
original idea of the map was to help the 
maker in determining how best to handle a 
very irregular contour of ground. The 
elevations of Crystal Lake Cemetery run 
from 149 feet to 212 feet above city level. 
This rise and fall of the ground comes 
be six mosaic figures representing the four 
evangelists, St. Peter and St. Paul. The 
floor is all in Carrara marble, inlaid in the 
form generally known as “opus alexandri- 
num,” with small pieces of porfido and ser- 
pentino mosaic. 
quite abruptly. The elevations were located 
by the usual method of cross sectioning at 
intervals of 100 feet on the regular tracts 
and every 50 feet on the irregular portions. 
Various sizes of casing nails were driven 
to conform to the altitude of these eleva- 
tions. Galvanized screening was laid on 
top of the nails and soldered in place. The 
road scheme, which had previously been 
determined by survey, was next worked 
out. Next came the balancing of the rise 
and fall of ground in regard to roads and 
drainage, cuts and fills being determined 
by reference to the field book. Then came 
the application of the papier-mache veneer 
followed by a coat of green saw-dust. 
The map has proven well worth the 
effort put forth in making in its sugges- 
tive value as to the dirt distribution 
and general balancing of the entire tract. 
It was placed in a frame and suspended 
on hinges from the back which allows it 
to be raised in a horizontal position when 
in use. Patrons coming to the office were 
attracted to the map and, in their endeav- 
ors to place locations, the idea suggested 
itself to the cemetery officers to use the 
map to show relative values and advan- 
tages of different points. This, in turn, 
suggested the idea of adding some hint of 
the landscape setting. This attempt is 
merely suggestive. 
It is in order to show Crystal Lake Cem- 
etery in some of its actuality we reproduce 
a photograph of an interesting view of the 
grounds. The map has proven very useful 
in showing the advantage of different loca- 
tions, especially during the period of deep

snow. Crystal Lake Cemetery has more 
than 45 acres developed on the modern 
lawn plan and about 33 acres of this de- 
velopment has been made during the last 
five years. All the roads are macadam. In 
addition to special landscape features, the 
cemetery is covered with a natural forest 
of giant oaks. It possesses many advan- 
tages such as natural drainage which has 
been improved by sewerage. It is located 
only 3 miles from the heart of the city 
at Thirty-eighth avenue North, and Hum-

proach. 
The officers of the association are : 
Walter N. Carroll, president and counsel; 
Arthur L. Helliwell, vice-president, and E. 
E. Cammon, superintendent, secretary and 
treasurer.
