About this map

The Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management Area dominates the central portion of this 1970s landscape, illustrating the intentional preservation of wetland and marsh habitats in Anoka and Chisago counties. This region is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring major bodies like Linwood Lake and Howard Lake alongside an intricate network of smaller ponds and marshes. Local community life is rooted in settlements like Linwood and Wyoming, supported by essential institutions including Linwood Sch and Crossroads Ch.

Evidence of historical transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern wetlands. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including Victor Hill Cem, Oak Park Cem, and Calvary Cem. The mapping also highlights specialized sites such as the recreational grounds at Camp Salie and a Lookout Tower positioned for regional surveillance.
