About this map

Nowthen and the northern edge of Ramsey define this Anoka County landscape at the turn of the 21st century. The area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and drainage systems, including the winding path of the Rum River and its tributaries like Trott Brook and Ford Brook. Numerous lakes, such as Pickerel Lake, Goose Lake, and Bear Lake, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the post-glacial topography of central Minnesota.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including Twin Lakes Cemetery, Lakeview Cemetery, and Staples Cemetery. The map also captures infrastructure and landmarks like Faherty Bridge and the Links at Northfork Golf Course, alongside rural junctions such as Mitchell Corners. The transition from rural homesteads to suburban residential development is evident in the expanding road grid, including Viking Blvd NW and Nowthen Blvd NW.
