About this map

Rush Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this portion of Chisago County, providing a detailed look at the water-rich geography north of the Twin Cities. The area is characterized by a series of interconnected and adjacent water bodies, including Goose Lake, Pine Lake, and Round Lake, which are linked by Rush Creek and drainage systems like County Ditch Number Eight. The settlement patterns here are focused around small junctions such as Greely and Rush Point, with numerous cemeteries like Saint Johns Cemetery and West Rock Cemetery marking the long-standing community roots in the region.

Industrial and recreational uses of the land are evident through the South Bay RV Park and Rush Lake Resort and Campgrounds. The map traces a network of rural roads such as Greeley Rd and Farming Rd that navigate the wetlands and low-lying areas. Distinctive terrain features, notably La Belle Island and the Goose Lake Narrows, highlight the complex hydrography that has shaped local development and land use.
