About this map

St Croix State Forest and the Nemadji State Forest anchor this landscape in Pine County, representing a region deeply committed to conservation and public land management in the early 1980s. The topography is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and waterways, where the Tamarack River and the branching forks of Crooked Creek carve through the glacial terrain. This environment supported a specialized geography of game management, seen here in the Pine County State Game Refuge.

The small settlement of Duxbury sits at the edge of this forested expanse, while further west, the Danforth Cem and the Eaglehead Lookout Tower provide fixed points of human history amidst the woods. The map's detailed hydrography, including Crooked Lake and Dollar Lake, illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the Wilma and Danforth townships, where gravel extraction and forestry were the primary drivers of the local economy.
