About this map

The Linwood and Columbus communities anchor this corner of Anoka County, defined by a complex mosaic of glacial lakes and wetlands. The northern reaches are dominated by the large Linwood Lake and Island Lake, while the southwestern section transition into the managed landscape of the Carlos Avery Wildlife Area. This 2013 survey illustrates the area's intricate drainage system, including the S Br Sunrise River and numerous engineered waterways like County Ditch Number Thirtyone and County Ditch Number Fortyfour, reflecting a long history of water management in these low-lying townships.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of several burial grounds, such as Victor Hill Cem near Boot Lake and Oak Park Cem situated further south. The landscape is also marked by recreational sites like Camp Salie and Greenwood Golf Links, illustrating how the region's natural hydrology has shaped both residential settlement and community spaces at the borders of Chisago and Washington Counties.
