1962 Map of Danbury

About this map

Danbury serves as the focal point for this 1962 survey of the upper St Croix River region, where the state boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin follows the river's winding path. The landscape is characterized by heavy timber and extensive wetlands, preserved within the Nemadji State Forest, St Croix State Forest, and St Croix State Park. These public lands suggest a mid-century shift toward recreation and conservation in a territory once dominated by the timber industry and the Soo Line railroad, which connects the small settlements of Kingsdale and Cloverton.
