2010 Map of Linwood

About this map

Linwood and Columbus anchor a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands in Anoka County. This 2010 survey details a region where residential development and recreational spaces like Greenwood Golf Links and Camp Salie interface with the natural drainage of the South Branch Sunrise River. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies several established burial grounds including Victor Hill Cemetery, Oak Park Cemetery, and Calvary Cemetery. The northern portion is dominated by the large basin of Linwood Lake and Island Lake, while the southern reaches show the vicinity of Howard Lake and Clear Lake. This documentation of the area’s hydrography and road network, from Viking Blvd NE to Kettle River Blvd, illustrates the suburban character of the exurban Twin Cities during the early 21st century.
