Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Soil Survey of Anoka County, Minnesota, 1918 Anoka County is situated in the southeastern part of Minnesota, a few miles north of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is bounded on the north bv Isanti County, on the east by Chicago and Washington Counties, on the south by Ramsey and Hennepin Counties, and on the west by Sherburne County. The Mississippi River flows between Anoka and Hennepin Counties. The area included is 431 square miles, or 275,840 acres. The topography of Anoka County in general is that of a modified plain. In the northwestern part there is a relatively small area of rather rough morainic-hill country, and a smaller total area of hilly country occurs in the extreme southern part. The remainder of the county has the appearance of a fairly flat to gently rolling upland plain. In all sections of the county there occur numerous level areas of peat land, lying 2 to 10 feet or more below the general level of the upland. These are much more extensive in the eastern half of the county. With a few exceptions the upland slopes bordering the peat areas are long and gentle. Along the Mississippi and Rum Rivers there is a small development of terrace land lying from 2 to 15 feet above overflow level. There is practically no bottom land subject to overflow in the country. In the southeast part of Fridley Township and in the northwest corner of the county some small areas reach an elevation of 1,060 feet above sea level, but the greater part of the county comes well within a range of about 850 to 950 feet above sea level, coinciding ma general way with the distribution of deep sandy soil and including in addition considerable areas around Centerville and Nowthen. The greater part of this lower lying land has a slight southwestward slope. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
