1983 Map of North Branch
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
St Croix National Scenic Riverway and the Governor Knowles State Forest define the eastern border of this mid-1980s survey, where the St Croix River separates Minnesota from Wisconsin. The interior is a mixture of agricultural land and managed wetlands, including Pine Island and several watercourses like Goose Creek and Hay Creek. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor serves as the primary north-south axis, connecting the communities of Harris and North Branch. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous sites such as Oak Grove Cem, Mission Covenant Cem, and Trinity Ch with its adjacent Trinity Cem. The landscape reflects a transition from river-valley wilderness to established township grids, featuring various gravel pits and specialized facilities like the local Landing Strip and High Sch.
