About this map

The St. Croix Wild and Scenic River forms a major geographic boundary in this region, where the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway transitions between Pine County, Minnesota, and Burnett County, Wisconsin. This river-dominated landscape is defined by the winding course of the Lower Tamarack River and numerous tributaries such as Bangs Brook and Hanson Cr. The terrain is punctuated by significant water bodies, including Graces Lake, Greigs Lake, and Razor Lake, which likely influenced the early settlement and transportation routes visible today.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key cultural sites, notably the Native American Burial Grounds and cemeteries like Lena Lake Cem and Ogema Cem. The small settlement of Danbury anchors the southeastern corner, serving as a hub near the Saint Croix Landing. The map details an extensive network of local roads such as Old Ferry Rd and Markville Rd, tracing the paths of earlier pioneers through this densely wooded, water-rich borderland.
