About this map

Linwood Lake and the S Br Sunrise River dominate this pocket of the Upper Midwest, where the borders of Anoka, Chisago, and Washington counties meet. The landscape is defined by its hydrography, featuring an intricate system of water bodies including Tamarack Lake, Howard Lake, and the expansive Columbus Lake. Significant engineering is visible through the County Ditch Number Thirty-one and County Ditch Number Forty-four, which illustrate long-standing efforts to manage the region's wetland environment.

Residential and civic history is anchored by the communities of Forest Lake, Wyoming, and Columbus. Local heritage is further preserved in several burial grounds, such as Victor Hill Cem near the northwestern edge and Oak Park Cem situated near the county line. The transportation network shows a transition from rural thoroughfares like Viking Blvd NE to the more developed corridors surrounding the established town centers.
