When the Minnesota legislature created the Minneapolis Board of Park Commissioners in 1883, it required the board to produce an annual report. These reports, which came to be highly prized by libraries and park advocates across the country, provide a vivid and detailed account of the development of one of the world's leading urban park systems. This, the first such report, outlines the organization of the Board, describes the state of the nascent park system, and includes a map of a Minneapolis park system as recommended by Prof. H.W.S. Cleveland, showing parkways along the Mississippi River and arounds Lakes Harriet and Calhoun. This report references "Lake Calhoun," a Minneapolis lake now known as Bde Maka Ska, the Dakota language for "White Earth Lake."
