2022 Map of Baldwin West

About this map

Hammond and Baldwin serve as the primary hubs in this section of Saint Croix County, where the transition between agricultural townships is marked by a high density of small burial grounds. Local genealogy is well-served by the presence of Saint Marys Cem, Hammond Cem, and Hawkins Cem, alongside the Pleasant Valley Cem, Woodside Cem, and Peace Cem further south. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several notable waterways, including the Kinnickinnic River and its S Br Kinnickinnic River in the northwest, while the Rush River and Parker Cr drain the eastern and southern reaches. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of the section-line road grid, with routes like Co Hwy J and Co Hwy TT connecting the dispersed farmsteads between the larger village centers. Aviation is represented by both the Baldwin Airport and the Rush River Airport, reflecting the area's mix of rural residential and light industrial utility.
