2010 Map of Baldwin West

About this map

Hammond serves as the primary residential hub on this 2010 topographic record, showing its grid-style development and local road network north of the major east-west interstate corridor. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage of several significant regional waterways, including the Kinnickinnic River in the northwest and the South Branch Kinnickinnic River flowing through the central plains. These waters give way to the eastern drainage of the Rush River, which winds south toward the small settlement at Palmer. This era of the Saint Croix County landscape is characterized by a balance of aviation and agriculture, evidenced by both the Baldwin Airport on the eastern margin and the smaller Rush River Airport to the southwest. Local history is anchored by sites like Peace Cemetery, which sits overlooking the river valley.
