About this map

The Rum River meanders through the southern half of this Isanti County landscape, carving a complex path of oxbows and wetlands before it passes West Point. The era’s rural character is defined by several distinct townships including Wyanett and Spencer Brook, where family and community heritage is anchored by a high density of small cemeteries like Old Wyanett Free Cem, King Cem, and Clough Cem.

Conservation efforts are evident at the Spectacle Lake Wildlife Management Area, which protects the shoreline between Spectacle Lake and the larger Green Lake. This survey also documents local education at the Victory Sch and the location of small settlements such as Oxlip and Pine Brook, offering a detailed look at the township’s mid-century road network and water features, from Lesure Heath Lake in the north to Baxter Lake on the southern boundary.
