2013 Map of Anoka

About this map

The Mississippi River and Rum River converge at Anoka, shaping the development of this northern Twin Cities landscape during the early 21st century. This survey documents the densely settled areas of Ramsey and Dayton along the river banks, showing a complex network of residential streets and transport corridors like the BNSF Railway. The map is particularly notable for its concentration of cemeteries, including the Anoka State Hospital Cem and Forest Hill Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Anoka Co and Hennepin Co. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more hydrologically diverse area characterized by Goose Lake, Rice Lake, and the winding path of Elm Cr. The inclusion of landmarks such as the Anoka Technical Coll and the Hayden Hills Golf Course provides a clear picture of the community infrastructure and land use patterns of the era.
