The St Croix River serves as the focal point for this survey, dividing the waterfront communities of Hudson and North Hudson in Wisconsin from the burgeoning residential corridors of Lakeland and Afton in Minnesota. The mapping reflects a landscape in transition during the early 1990s, where suburban expansion marked in purple tint meets established agricultural and historic sites. Genealogical value is found in the scattered landmarks of early settlement, including Rentz Cem, St Peters Ch, and the Mound Prairie Cem near Valley Creek. Of particular interest are the Bissells Mounds, indicating much deeper history along the river bluffs. Cultural landmarks of the late 20th century, such as the Drive-in Theater and Lake Elmo Airport, appear alongside protected natural spaces like Afton State Park and the varied inlets of Lake Mallalieu.
