About this map

Rush City stands at the heart of this Chisago County landscape, a hub of activity defined by its regional infrastructure and deep-rooted local history. The town’s social and civic character is traced through the Chisago County Fairgrounds and the Rush City Regional Airport, while the surrounding rural countryside preserves a detailed genealogical record. Several small burial grounds, including the Heinrich Pioneer Cem, Gee Family Cem, and Taylor Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the early family settlement patterns of the area.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with the Saint Croix River forming the eastern boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Smaller tributaries like Rush Cr and Rock Cr meander toward the river, alongside engineered drainage systems such as County Ditch Number Six. This network of natural and man-made waterways illustrates the long-standing management of the land for agricultural and residential use.
