2013 Map of Monson Lake

About this map

The Saint Croix River serves as the dominant geographical feature on this boundary map of Pine County, Minnesota, and Burnett County, Wisconsin. In the early 2010s, this landscape is defined by its recreational and conservation character, notably featuring several managed camping areas such as the Saint Johns Landing Camp and Fleming Camp. The convergence of the Clam River and the Saint Croix provides a look at the hydraulic network that once fueled regional timber operations, a history echoed by the Old Logging Trail Campground. Further south, the terrain transitions into a lake-dotted interior where Monson Lake and Reed Lake sit among a grid of rural routes including Monson Rd and Reed Lake Rd. The presence of the Clam River Flowage and Balcom Bridge highlights the modern management of these northern waterways for public use.
