2013 Map of Cedar

About this map

Oak Grove and the neighboring settlements of Cedar and Constance define this corner of Anoka County, where suburban expansion meets a complex network of glacial lakes and drainage ditches. The landscape is heavily influenced by water, featuring the prominent Lake George at its center and the winding path of the Rum River along the western edge, crossed by the Gillespie Bridge. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including W Oak Grove Cem, Pierce Cem, Cedar Cem, and the Constance Evangelical Free Church Cem. The area's agricultural and drainage history is visible through a series of numbered waterworks like County Ditch Number Thirtyseven and County Ditch Number Fiftyeight, which channel water toward Cedar Cr and Mahoney Brook. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the modern road grid as it carves through the remaining wetlands and wooded parcels of the Anoka Sand Plain.
