About this map

Glenwood City serves as the central hub of this 1970s landscape, situated at the confluence of several key transportation corridors. The Soo Line tracks cut through the terrain, while the remnants of an Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade trace the legacy of earlier logistical networks. The town itself is well-defined, featuring the Fairground, High Sch, and a local Cem. Outside the city limits, the rural character is punctuated by numerous Gravel Pits, indicating active local extraction industries.

To the south, Glen Hills County Park surrounds Glen Lake, providing a dedicated recreation area with a Campground, Picnic Area, and Golf Course. The hydrography is dominated by Tiffany Creek and its southern branch, alongside northern water bodies like Bushy Lake and Little Bushy Lake. This map captures a moment when the regional infrastructure of St. Croix Co and Dunn Co balanced town life, industry, and burgeoning county park systems.
