Mound is 22 miles (35 km) west of Minneapolis, the county seat.
The lakes geographically define the town's areas, such as Three Points, The Island, The Highlands, Grandview Boulevard and Shirley Hills.

For many years in the 1940s and '50s, the store was owned and operated by Ed and Pete Sollie, uncles of the Andrews Sisters singing group.
