Minnesota themes

Even though I was born and raised in Minnesota, only recently have I've realized how many cities, especially around the Twin Cities area, are named after trees or water. For example:

Stillwater
Maple Grove
Apple Valley
Oak Park Heights
Bayport
Woodbury
Oakdale
Cottage Grove
White Bear Lake
Maplewood
Waterville
Coon Rapids
Ham Lake
Maple Island
Lake Elmo
Inver Grove Heights
Roseville
Roseport
Pine Bend
Prior Lake
Grainwood
Shorewood
Hazel Park
Golden Valley
Lino Lakes
Lakeville
Shoreview

I know there are more than this list,and this is mainly just the Twin Cities area. Like I said, Minnesota is all about trees and water.
