About this map

St. Croix County agriculture and rural infrastructure define this landscape between the small communities of Cylon and Emerald. The terrain is shaped by a dense network of tributaries, including the headwaters of the Rush River, Carr Cr, and the winding Hutton Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. The map reveals the persistence of early regional landmarks like the Holy Rosary Cem and Greenwood Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Wisconsin.

Evidence of modern aviation sits alongside these traditional sites at the Cub Bear Airport and Windsong Farm Airport, illustrating the evolution of local transportation and land use. The land is strictly organized by a grid of county highways and avenues, such as Co HWY G and 170th Ave, which intersect the glacial topography and water bodies like Pine Lake. This layout highlights the enduring structure of the township and range system across the northwestern Wisconsin prairie and woodlands.
