2010 Map of Gordon

About this map

The Saint Croix River and Totagatic River define this Northwoods landscape, where the confluence of major waterways shaped the early settlements of Gordon and Wascott. At the northern edge, the Gordon 2WP49 Dam regulates the Saint Croix Flowage, a significant water body created at the junction with the Eau Claire River. The interior is densely pocketed with glacial lakes, from the large Sullivan Lake in the east to the western chain including Bardon Lake, Bond Lake, and Leader Lake. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where the traditional north-south travel corridor, now followed by modern roads, remains central to the community's layout. Local history is anchored by the Wascott Cemetery and numerous family-named landmarks like Yoekel Lake and Peterson Lake, reflecting a long-standing relationship between the residents and the surrounding water and timber resources.
