About this map

Rush City serves as the central hub of this northern Chisago County landscape, situated along the Interstate 35 corridor as it moves toward the Pine County line. The settlement pattern is defined by a grid of agricultural roads and drainage systems, including County Ditch Number Six and County Ditch Number Nine, which facilitate the region's productive farmland. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway, where the Minnesota-Wisconsin border follows the river's winding course.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant family-history markers throughout the area, from the larger Calvary Cem and Covenant Cem near the main town to smaller, isolated sites like the Gee Family Cem, Taylor Cem, and Heinrich Pioneer Cem. These scattered burial grounds, alongside settlements like Rock Creek and Harris, reveal the early footprint of homesteaders in the Saint Croix Valley.
