2015 Map of Buckety Creek

About this map

The Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway anchor this Douglas County landscape, where the Saint Croix River meets its tributaries in a complex network of wetlands and flowages. This 2015 survey reveals how local water management and conservation efforts have shaped the terrain, specifically around the Saint Croix Flowage and the northern Moose Br Flowage. Rural life is centered on small settlements and creek crossings, such as Scott Bridge and the namesake Buckety Creek. The map documents a mix of named family landmarks and rural routes, including Ole Larson and Twin Brg, providing a record of property divisions and access points within the timber and water-rich environment of northwest Wisconsin. From the southern expanse of Bubar Island to the winding course of the Moose River, the map captures the hydrologic character of the region as it existed in the mid-2010s.
