About this map

The Rum River winds through this Isanti County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its glacial lakes and rural settlements. In the northern reaches, the community of Walbo sits near a network of river trails, while the southern section is centered on the waters of Lake Francis. Residential development is concentrated along the shoreline in West Lake Francis Shores and East Lake Francis Shores, reflecting the modern character of these lakefront communities.

Genealogists and local historians can find two significant burial sites in the southern portion of the map: the East Bradford Cem and the Saint John's German Lutheran Cem. The terrain is also marked by Elizabeth Lake and Brobergs Lake, while the eastern edge shows the outskirts of Cambridge and the Cambridge Municipal Airport. This record of the township shows the transition from the settlement at Bradford to contemporary aviation and lakeside infrastructure.
