2013 Map of Osceola

About this map

The Saint Croix River forms a wide, complex corridor of islands and backwaters at the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, including the intricate channels of Close Slu and Lower Lake. This 2013 survey shows the rural character of the area around Franconia and Scandia, where the river valley transitions into a landscape dotted with smaller bodies of water like Peaslee Lake and Osceola Lake. Local infrastructure centers on the L O Simenstad Municipal Airport and a network of named country roads such as Sugar Bush Trl and Snow Goose Trl. The geography reflects the persistent importance of river crossings and local administration, evidenced by Draw Bridge Dr and the centrally located Townhall.
