About this map

The confluence of the Snake River and the St Croix River defines the heart of this landscape, marking the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Broad marshlands and riverine ecosystems dominate the eastern half of the map, protected within the Chengwatana State Forest and the St Croix National Scenic Riverway. The terrain transitions from the high, flat plains of Pine City and Rock Creek in the west down toward the river valley, where local access points like Soderbeck Landing and Snake River Landing facilitate movement along the waterways.

Local landmarks such as Long Meadows Lake and the Rock Marsh State Wildlife Management Area illustrate the significant focus on conservation and land management in this region during the early 1980s. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction activity amidst a largely preserved natural corridor, while features like Sandrock Cliff Campground and the Snowmobile Trail highlight the recreational utility of the riverway and forest lands.
