About this map

New Richmond anchors the northern edge of this St. Croix County landscape, where the Willow River and Paperjack Creek converge amidst a mix of agricultural plots and light industry. The 1970s character of the town is evident in the presence of the High School and the nearby Cemetery, while the Chicago and North Western rail line cuts diagonally through the townships of Star Prairie and Richmond.

Further south, the small community of Boardman serves as a local focal point near the Boardman Cemetery and the meandering Boardman Creek. The terrain is punctuated by numerous glacial features and small water bodies such as Lundy Pond, Brushy Mound Lake, and the clustered Three Lakes. Evidence of the local extraction economy appears in several scattered Gravel Pits and Sandpits, while landmarks like the Radio Tower (WIXK) and Hennessey Spring provide specific points for historical navigation.
