1983 Map of Ox Creek

About this map

The Nemadji State Forest and St Croix State Forest dominate this north-woods landscape, defined by a dense network of waterways and timberland along the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. The survey highlights the remote character of New Dosey, Wilma, and Arna townships during the early 1980s. A complex hydrological system is evident, with the Lower Tamarack River winding through the northwest corner while the Ox Creek and Little Ox Creek drain the southern reaches. The State Boundary Trail provides a rare terrestrial corridor through the marshy terrain, tracing the interstate line. Evidence of local industry is sparse, limited primarily to a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, reflecting a region primarily dedicated to conservation and state-managed forestry rather than dense settlement or intensive agriculture.
