About this map

Coon Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this mid-1970s survey of the Anoka County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage ditches, such as County Ditch No 13 and County Ditch No 28, which illustrate the complex water management required for development in this low-lying region. Smaller settlements and neighborhoods like Coon Lake Beach, Soderville, and West Bethel are interspersed with numerous smaller basins including Deer Lake, Neds Lake, and Lake Netta.

Genealogical and local history markers are prevalent, featuring several rural houses of worship like Ham Lake Ch and Glen Cary Ch, alongside burial sites including Oak Hill Cem and Oak Leaf Cem. The eastern edge is dominated by the Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area, while the transition from agricultural use to residential growth is visible in the emergence of several trailer parks and a Sandpit near East Bethel.
