About this map

Typo Lake and the marshy basins of the Anoka Sand Plain define this landscape at the intersection of Isanti, Chisago, and Anoka counties. The area is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial water bodies, including Martin Lake, Fawn Lake, and the expansive Tamarack Lake, all connected by the branching network of the Sunrise River system. The West Branch, North Branch, and W Br Sunrise River meander through low-lying terrain, creating a complex drainage pattern that has historically shaped local land use and road placement.

Local history is anchored by several established burial grounds such as Oxford Union Cem and Saint Johns Cem, which serve as markers of early community centers near Weber and Branch. The map reveals a transition from these clustered rural settlements to a more structured grid of county roads, such as Co RD 47, while preserving large wetland tracts like the Lily Pond and Mud Lake. This detailed view of the terrain provides a clear picture of the hydrological and genealogical layout of the region in the mid-2010s.
