1949 Map of New Richmond
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Apple River and Willow River define the agricultural and industrial landscape of St. Croix County in the late 1940s. Centered on the growing hub of New Richmond, the map reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Chicago And North Western railroad line to a high concentration of country schools such as Lonesome Trail Sch, River View Sch, and Prairie View Sch. The presence of Mill Pond and Little Falls Pond near Burkhardt suggests the importance of water management and milling in the local economy, while the Minneapolis ST Paul And Sault Ste Marie line links the dairy and farming communities of Somerset and Star Prairie to larger markets.
