About this map

Rush Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this landscape on the border of Chisago and Pine counties. The expansive water body is shaped by features like La Belle Island and the Goose Lake Narrows, with the settlement of Rush City anchoring the eastern edge. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by recreational lakeside life and a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and churches that dot the local roads.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of local burial sites, including Saint Johns Cem and the Olin Free Mission Cem, alongside smaller hamlets such as Rush Point and Greely. The map details the transition from residential developments like Rushmore Campgrounds to the agricultural drainage patterns of County Ditch Number Eight, providing a clear view of how the land around Goose Lake and Leech Lake has been managed for both leisure and farming.
