About this map

The winding course of the Rum River serves as the central anchor for this area, which straddles the borders of Mille Lacs, Sherburne, and Isanti Counties. The city of Princeton is shown in detail, including its street grid and several civic institutions such as the Po, Hosp, and both the Jr High Sch and High Sch. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and wetlands, with numerous small bodies of water like Fog Lake and Silver Lake punctuating the terrain.

Logistics and infrastructure are prominent, with the Burlington Northern railroad running north through Brickton toward Long Siding. Local community life is reflected in several smaller landmarks, from the County Fairground and Princeton Municipal Airport to rural burial sites such as Ebenezer Cem and Baldwin Cem. This 1982 update includes revisions shown in purple, marking residential and commercial changes since the original 1968 field check.
