About this map

The St Croix River and St Croix Lake form the western boundary of this landscape, where the city of Hudson and North Hudson are established amidst a network of transportation and rural industry. The Chicago and North Western railroad bisects the terrain, meeting at the local junction of Northline and continuing east toward Sno Junction. This mid-1970s survey illustrates a community in transition, with newer developments like the Hudson Country Club and Wayside Park appearing alongside legacy features such as the Old Railroad Grade and Stage Line Road.

Educational and religious roots are prominent throughout the area, from Rock Sch and Jr High Sch in the town center to the University of Wis Farm further south. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including Willow River Cem, St Patrick Cem, and the German Settlement Cem located east of Hudson Twp. The topographic detail highlights the distinct character of Mann Valley and the Coulee formations that define the region's drainage patterns.
