Dairy farming and rail transport defined the St. Croix and Polk County borderlands at mid-century, as seen in this 1950s-era landscape. Small agricultural hubs like Deer Park and Cylon serve as focal points for a network of rural school districts, including Jewett Mills Sch and High Landing Sch, which illustrate the community-centered layout of the era. The presence of both the Chicago and North Western and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads underscores the region's historical importance as a transit corridor for goods and passengers moving through western Wisconsin.
