Editing Chisago County, Minnesota (section)

==Geography==
Chisago County lies on Minnesota's eastern border, abutting the western border of [[Wisconsin]] (across the [[St. Croix River (Wisconsin–Minnesota)|Saint Croix River]]). The Saint Croix flows south-southeast along the county's eastern border. The [[Sunrise River]] flows north through the county's central part, collecting the waters of the North Branch Sunrise River and Hay Creek before discharging into the St. Croix at the county's eastern boundary. The county terrain consists of rolling hills, devoted to agriculture.<ref name=CCM>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Chisago+County,+MN/@45.513631,-93.0343411,52272m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x52ad0c7f7f8fdcdb:0x3fca2738f673823b!8m2!3d45.524828!4d-92.9550305 ''Chisago County MN''  Google Maps (accessed March 6, 2019)]</ref> The terrain slopes to the south and east, with its highest point near the northwest corner, at {{convert|1,017|ft|m|abbr=on}} ASL.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |title="Find an Altitude/Chisago County MN" Google Maps (accessed March 6, 2019) |access-date=March 6, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190521043409/https://www.daftlogic.com/sandbox-google-maps-find-altitude.htm |archive-date=May 21, 2019 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The county has an area of {{convert|442|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|415|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|28|sqmi}} (6.2%) is water.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_27.txt|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=October 6, 2014|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006102023/http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_27.txt|archive-date=October 6, 2014}}</ref>
