About this map

The Rum River corridor and its surrounding glacial lake country define this portion of Anoka County. The landscape is a network of water and wetlands, including Pickerel Lake, Bass Lake, and Goose Lake, interwoven with a residential grid and agricultural pockets like the O J Holstein Farm. Local history is anchored at sites such as Mitchell Corners and several well-maintained burial grounds, including Lakeview Cem and Trott Brook Cem.

Transport and connectivity are represented by Saint Francis Blvd and the crossing at Faherty Bridge, which spans the lowlands where Trott Brook flows toward the river. This survey documents the modern suburban-rural interface, showing how developments have expanded around established water bodies like Benjamin Lake and Rogers Lake, while still preserving the drainage patterns of Ford Brook and Seelye Brook that have long dictated the region's topography.
