2016 Map of Bradford

About this map

Lake Francis and its surrounding residential developments, West Lake Francis Shores and East Lake Francis Shores, anchor the southern portion of this Isanti County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, with the Rum River winding through the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. Small settlements like Bradford and Walbo serve as local focal points, connected by a grid of rural routes such as Co Rd 1 and Co Rd 32. In the east, the Cambridge Municipal Airport signifies the modern infrastructure supporting this region. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Saint Johns Cem and Kienitz Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in this lake-strewn terrain. The topography reveals a complex drainage pattern where Isanti Brook and various unnamed marshes interact with larger water bodies like Elizabeth Lake and Williams Lake.
