About this map

Grantsburg serves as the focal point of this Northwest Wisconsin landscape, situated along the Wood River just east of the Saint Croix River boundary with Minnesota. The village's layout is well-defined, featuring the Memory Lake 152 reservoir and local infrastructure like the Grantsburg Municipal Airport. Beyond the residential streets, the map reveals a complex aquatic ecosystem dominated by managed flowages and wetlands, including Phantom Lake, Dike 4 Flowage, and Whiskey Cr Flowage.

These water features suggest a history of wildlife management and conservation, further evidenced by the protected corridor of the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Riverside Cem near the village and Wood River Cem to the east, while the surrounding grid of rural roads like Ferry Rd and Paint Mine Rd points to the area's agricultural and resource-based past.
