About this map

The St Croix River defines the borderland between Minnesota and Wisconsin in this 1980s-era topographical study, winding through a heavily protected corridor of state and national lands. The river’s importance as a thoroughfare is evident in the string of historical access points including Norway Point Landing, Nelson Landing, and Fox Landing. These landings, along with recreational sites like Norway Point Camp, mark the legacy of river-based travel and resource management in the region.

Upland from the water, the landscape is a patchwork of conservation areas, including the St Croix State Park and Governor Knowles State Forest. Local history is anchored by the Ekdall Ch and a network of rural routes such as Fox Landing Road and Sadler Road. To the southeast, the terrain shifts into the marshes and hunting grounds of the Crex Meadows State Public Hunting Grounds, where Buggert Lake and Fuhrman Lake dot the wetlands.
