2010 Map of Bradford

About this map

The Rum River winds through Isanti County in this 2010 topographic record, defining the drainage patterns for a landscape dotted with wetlands and small lakes. The small settlement of Bradford anchors the southwestern corner, while Walbo sits further north along the river's bend. This area shows a transition between established rural homesteads and newer residential clusters like West Lake Francis Shores and East Lake Francis Shores surrounding the waters of Lake Francis. Local genealogy and history are preserved at sites like Kienitz Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery, which stand alongside the modern infrastructure of the Cambridge Municipal Airport. The map documents a complex network of county roads and named streets that weave through the lowlands created by Stanchfield Creek and Isanti Brook, illustrating how the local geography has dictated the placement of transit and housing.
