1955 Map of Milltown
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The ST. Croix River forms the western boundary of this 1950s landscape, where the historic Nevers Dam structure remains a prominent landmark near the Minnesota border. The map documents a rural network of small agricultural settlements and hamlets such as Milltown, Trade Lake, and Cushing. This area is characterized by a high density of water bodies, including Spirit Lake, Round Lake, and Wolf Lake, many of which supported early community infrastructure. Rural education and religious life are well-represented by numerous surviving labels for country institutions like Manitou Lake Sch and Bethany Ch. The presence of the Soo Line railroad through the southeastern corner indicates the importance of rail transport for the local dairy and timber economies during this era.
