2013 Map of Elk River

About this map

The confluence of the Elk River and the Mississippi River serves as the focal point for this 2013 survey, where the river banks transition from developed town centers to recreational and agricultural corridors. This area is notable for its numerous small family and community burial sites, including the Farm of Ernest Rahn Cem, Saint Andrews Cem, and Orono Cem, providing vital clues for genealogical research. The landscape is a mix of suburban expansion and public space, evidenced by the Sherburne County Fair Grounds and the Mississippi Riverwoods Campground. Local infrastructure like the Meadowvale Airport and the Links at Northfork Golf Course sit among a dense network of residential roads such as Elk Lake Rd NW and 221st Ave NW. This document provides a look at the modern layout of these riverfront communities before more recent development further altered the terrain.
