About this map

Lake George and the winding course of the Rum River dominate this portion of Anoka County, where suburban expansion meets a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the intersection of several growing communities, including Oak Grove, Andover, and East Bethel. Historical markers such as Pierce Cem and West Oak Grove Cem provide touchstones for genealogical research, while the presence of the Constance Evangelical Free Church in the southern settlement of Constance highlights the area's local community centers.

Water management is central to the terrain, evidenced by named channels like County Ditch Number Thirtyseven and County Ditch Number Fiftyeight. These artificial waterways, alongside natural features like Cedar Cr and Mahoney Brook, illustrate the extensive efforts to manage the low-lying, lake-dotted geography of the region. The map also records key transit points such as the Gillespie Bridge, which spans the river near Ramsey.
