2016 Map of Linwood

About this map

The lowlands and lake districts at the junction of Anoka, Chisago, and Washington Counties are defined by an intricate network of waterways and glacial depressions. Linwood Lake and the smaller Island Lake anchor the northwestern portion of this area, where the settlement of Linwood sits near the headwaters of County Ditch Number Forty-one. The landscape is a mosaic of wetlands and rising ground, evidenced by the numerous lakes including Martin Lake, Boot Lake, and Clear Lake. To the southeast, the growing hubs of Columbus and Forest Lake show the intersection of local routes like Co Hwy 18 and Viking Blvd NE. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, such as Victor Hill Cem near the western edge and Oak Park Cem situated north of Howard Lake, which serve as permanent markers of the area's rural development and multi-county ties.
