About this map

The Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area dominates the central portion of this mid-1970s landscape, illustrating a vast protected wetland complex punctuated by numerous water bodies like Little Coon Lake and Boot Lake. To the north, the community of Linwood sits near the shores of Linwood Lake and Island Lake, with local history evidenced by the Linwood Sch and the Victor Hill Cem.

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.
