About this map

The Sunrise River and its multiple branches weave through a landscape defined by an extensive network of glacial lakes in this 2010 survey of the Chisago and Washington County borderlands. The city of Forest Lake serves as a major hub at the southern end of its namesake water body, while Chisago City and Wyoming anchor the northern and western reaches. This era shows a well-established recreational and residential infrastructure, featuring unique aviation landmarks like the Waldref Seaplane Base on the northern shore of Forest Lake and Dupres Airport to the east.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the region's burial grounds, including the Scandinavian Cemetery, Saint Joseph's Catholic Cemetery, and the Wyoming Methodist Cemetery. The map also captures the local shoreline geography through named points and islands such as Shadyland Point, Willow Point, and Kismet Isle in Green Lake. These features, alongside the Forest Hills Golf Course and Timm's Marina and Campground, illustrate the area's long-standing character as a premier Minnesota lake country destination.
