About this map

The St Croix River corridor defines this portion of Douglas County, where the northern wetlands and forests meet the protected waters of the St Croix National Scenic Riverway. In the early 1980s, the landscape was a complex network of glacial drainages and flowages, including the expansive St Croix Flowage and the smaller Moose Branch Flowage. The townships of Solon Springs and Gordon are marked by a transition from managed timberlands and Gravel Pits to recreational sites like the Gordon Flowage Campground.

A dense network of named local roads such as Paske Road, Womer Road, and Beck Road provides access to the interior, reflecting a long-standing pattern of rural settlement and forest management. Numerous small tributaries, including Buckety Creek, Spring Creek, and Sheosh Creek, wind through the terrain toward the main river system, surrounding landforms like Bubar Island. The map records a moment when conservation efforts and traditional land use coexisted along these essential Wisconsin waterways.
