Upper Saint Croix Lake and the surrounding Douglas County headwaters anchor this 2013 survey of the Wisconsin northwoods. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Middle River and Poplar River flow north toward Lake Superior while the Saint Croix Cr begins its journey toward the Mississippi. This divide creates a mosaic of glacial water bodies including Lake Minnesuing, Gilbert Lake, and Lake of the Woods. Small settlements like Bennett and Beebe are situated along the Us-53 corridor and County Hwy-E, serving as central points for a network of rural roads such as S Karras Rd and S Thorsell Rd. The map provides a detailed view of these residential and timber tracts just before further modernization, tracing the natural flow of creeks like Kaspar Cr and Catlin Cr through the dense terrain.
