1983 Map of Bass Creek

About this map

The St Croix River defines the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin in this 1980s survey, anchoring a landscape dedicated to conservation and recreation. To the west, the Chengwatana State Forest and the Chengwatana State Wildlife Management Area preserve a mosaic of wetlands and timberland, including Long Meadows Lake and the winding course of the Snake River. This river system served as a historic transportation corridor, reflected here by riverfront access points like Snake River Landing and Soderbeck Landing. On the Wisconsin side, the Governor Knowles State Forest provides a buffer along the St Croix National Scenic Riverway. The map captures the area's transition into a modern recreational hub, featuring a network of sites such as the Sandrock Cliff Campground and several Snowmobile Trails that crisscross the forested terrain.
