2015 Map of Cushing

About this map

Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway dominates the western edge of this landscape, protecting the riparian corridor along the Saint Croix River where the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin is defined. This area is characterized by an exceptional concentration of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, ranging from the large Big Lake in the south to the smaller, secluded Alabama Lake and Grandquist Lake in the north. The small settlement of Cushing serves as a local hub near the center of the map, while Eureka Center sits further south along the road network. The presence of Nevers Dam Rd hints at the historic logging infrastructure once vital to this river system. Significant water bodies like Pine Island Lake, Wolf Lake, and Horseshoe Lake are interspersed with a grid of rural routes such as Old State Rd 87 and Evergreen Ave, reflecting a region defined by its water resources and sparse residential development.
