2022 Map of Danbury East

About this map

The borderlands between Wisconsin and Minnesota are defined by the convergence of water and early transport routes, anchored by the settlement of Markville. This area is shaped by the Upper Tamarack River and the Yellow River, which feed a series of glacial lakes including Tabor Lake, Bass Lake, and Stone Lake. The presence of the Danbury Indian Cem and Markville Cem provides important anchors for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The landscape is also marked by the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway, reflecting the preservation of the river corridor. Modern recreational infrastructure follows historic paths, most notably the Gandy Dancer State Trail, which traces the former railroad corridor through the woods. This network of trails and rural roads like Pansy Landing Rd illustrates the transition from industrial resource extraction to a landscape primarily used for conservation and local transit.
