2013 Map of Typo Lake

About this map

Typo Lake and the winding West Branch Sunrise River anchor this landscape along the tri-county border of Isanti, Anoka, and Chisago. The region is defined by a dense concentration of glacial basins, ranging from the expansive waters of Martin Lake to smaller named ponds like Lily Pond and Pet Lake. Small rural communities such as Weber and Branch are connected by a precise grid of county roads, including Fawn Lake Dr NE and Athens Trl. Genealogists will find significant local history at the several rural burial grounds that serve these communities, such as Salem Lutheran Cem and Oxford Cem. The map reveals a transition between established agricultural plots and the intricate water systems of the N Br Sunrise River, showing how early settlement patterns were dictated by the numerous lakes like Horseleg Lake and the Twin Lakes.
