About this map

The town of Braham serves as the primary hub in this early 1980s look at the borderlands between Isanti, Kanabec, Pine, and Chisago counties. The Burlington Northern rail corridor dictates the settlement pattern, connecting the village of Grandy in the south through Stanchfield and Braham as it heads north toward the state's lake country. This survey illustrates a landscape of heavy glacial influence, defined by a dense network of wetlands and namesake water bodies such as Rice Lake, Adams Lake, and Section Lake.

Cultural landmarks and local institutions are well-preserved, including the Westview High Sch and Southview Sch in the heart of Braham. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several rural burial grounds such as Rice Lake Cem, Mission Cem, and Danewood Cem. Recreational and conservation interests are represented by the Purple Hawk Golf Course and the protected lands of the Rice Creek State Wildlife Management Area in the northwest.
