About this map

The St Croix Wild and Scenic River forms a dramatic natural boundary on this 2019 survey, marking the state line between Minnesota and Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by the glacial legacy of the region, densely packed with numerous small water bodies such as Grandquist Lake, Manitou Lake, and Wolf Lake. The settlement of Cushing sits at a crossroads in the northern section, while Eureka Center anchors the southeastern corner.

This map reveals a rural topography where the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway protects the riparian corridor, contrasting with the inland network of numbered township roads that serve local farms and homesteads. The Trade River and Wolf Creek drain the surrounding marshes and woodlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Chisago and Polk County border region. For those researching local land use or property boundaries, the grid of section lines and established roads provides a precise framework for the modern terrain.
