1974 Map of Lindstrom

Transport patterns are defined by the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern woods, while the eastern edge shows the more modern development around Wyoming and Forest Lake. The southern section of the map transitions into the rural tracts of Columbus, where drainage is managed by Ditch No 12 and the Sunrise River South Branch. This survey documents a specific era of conservation and quiet expansion along the county lines of Anoka, Chisago, and Washington.
