1955 Map of Forest Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Green Lake and the Sunrise River anchor this detailed mid-century survey of the lake-studded borderlands between Chisago and Washington counties. The region's character as a destination for recreation and residential expansion is evident in the lakeside developments of Chippewa Heights and Hidden Valley, along with landmarks like the Country Club and the Girl Scout Camp. In the southwestern corner, the sprawling Carlos Avery State Game Refuge and Public Hunting Grounds preserves a vast wetland landscape adjacent to Wyoming. Historical patterns of land use are revealed through the presence of several Gravel Pits and the Burlington Northern rail line passing through Stacy. Local history is preserved in sites such as the Meadow View Sch (Abandoned) and the lakeside Glader Cem near Center City.
