About this map

The Saint Croix River forms a natural border between Minnesota and Wisconsin in this region, defining the landscape of the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the community of Danbury sits near the river bend, while the surrounding wetlands and forests are punctuated by numerous glacial lakes like Lena Lake and Graces Lake. This area holds significant cultural importance, marked by Native American Burial Grounds and historical sites such as Ogema Cem.

Transport patterns reflect the rural nature of the borderlands, with Old Ferry Rd and Lake Lena Rd providing access to isolated homesteads and recreation areas. The confluence of the Lower Tamarack River and smaller streams like McDermott Cr feeding into the main river system highlights the complex hydrology of the Saint Croix Valley. The presence of the Hay Cr Flowage and Hay Cr Reservoir further illustrates the management of water resources in this wooded basin.
