2010 Map of Nye

About this map

The Apple River corridor and a dense cluster of glacial lakes define this Polk County landscape. Small rural communities such as Nye, Ubet, and the settlement of Horse Creek are connected by a grid of county roads and avenues, including County Hwy-MM and 90th Ave. The terrain is shaped by water, with large bodies like Big Lake, Church Pine Lake, and Lotus Lake surrounded by smaller features such as Round Lake and Duck Lake. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Sand Lake Cemetery and El Salem Cemetery, reflecting the area's established residential history. In the southwest, the Saint Croix Valley Airport stands as a modern transportation landmark amid a patchwork of wetlands and creeks, including Behning Creek and Rice Creek, which feed into the larger hydrological system. The map illustrates a transitional rural character, where traditional lakeside living meets contemporary local infrastructure.
