About this map

The Saint Francis River and Battle Brook wind through this rural landscape of Greenbush Township, defining a terrain shaped by water and early agricultural development. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge Pool 7A Dam, where managed water levels at Pool 7 contrast with the natural flow of the West Branch Rum River to the northeast. Historical burial records for the township can be traced to the centrally located Greenbush Cemetery along 20th Street.

Evidence of local land management is visible in the network of drainage systems, such as County Ditch Number Six and County Ditch Number Three, which supported the conversion of wetlands for farming. Rising above the lowlands, Blue Hill stands as a prominent elevation point in the southwest. The area is also characterized by larger bodies of water like Rice Lake and tributary streams including Prairie Brook, all connected by a grid of rural roads and county highways.
