About this map

The Saint Croix River and Kettle River define the northwestern edge of this Wisconsin-Minnesota border region, where the landscape is heavily influenced by water management and conservation. The interior is a complex network of wetlands and artificial impoundments, including the Dike 6 Flowage, Erickson Flowage, and South Refuge Flowage, alongside larger natural bodies like Phantom Lake. This geography reflects a modern era focused on wildlife habitat and flood control.

Civilian activity centers on the settlement of Grantsburg Municipal Airport and the nearby Memory Lake 152. The street grid here, featuring W Benson Ave and W Saint George Ave, transitions into rural routes like Paint Mine Rd and Ferry Rd. These names hint at earlier industrial and transport history along the Wood River, even as the land has largely been reclaimed by the surrounding refuge and flowage systems.
