1974 Map of Nowthen

About this map

The Rum River winds through the eastern edge of this landscape, a region defined by its numerous glacial basins and early rural infrastructure. In the town of Nowthen, the Townhall and Lakeview Cem sit near the shores of Bass Lake and Pickerel Lake, illustrating the tight-knit settlement patterns of central Anoka County. The area south of Burns transitions into Ramsey, where the drainage network is supplemented by Ditch No 14 and Ditch No 51, reflecting efforts to manage the wetlands surrounding Trott Brook. Local transportation and community hubs are well-documented, from Mitchell Corners in the north to the Faherty Bridge crossing. Genealogists will find particular value in the locations of Trott Brook Ch and its namesake Trott Brook Cem, alongside newer additions like the Lord of Life Ch.
