We have reproduced and annotated the eight township maps from the 1867 ATLAS OF RAMSEY COUNTY by L. G. Bennett. They are Reserve, Rose, Mound View, New Canada, McLean, White Bear, St Anthony Township (Hennepin County), and Manomin County (now part of Anoka County). Each map shows the original geography of the land in 1867: the wetlands, first roads, houses, bluff lines, streams, and wooded areas. Here is an online version of the Reserve Township Map .
