1974 Map of New Richmond North

About this map

Star Prairie and the surrounding townships of Alden and Farmington are defined by the winding course of the Apple River as it moves toward its confluence with the St. Croix River. This mid-1970s survey captures a landscape of small settlements and rural infrastructure, from the lakeside community at Cedar Lake to the scattered hamlets of Huntington and Johannesburg. The industrial and transport history of the region is evident in the path of the Chicago and North Western and Soo Line railroads, alongside localized operations like the Gravel Pits and the Riverdale Flowage. The map also documents essential community landmarks including Oakland Cem, the Cedar Lake Sch, and the St Croix Health Center, providing a detailed look at the social and economic geography of northwestern Wisconsin during this era.
