About this map

The confluence of the Mississippi and St. Croix rivers dominates this 2013 survey of the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. At the heart of the map is the historic settlement of Prescott, situated where Lake Saint Croix flows into the broader river valley. Directly across the water in Minnesota, the small community of Point Douglas sits near the shores of Conley Lake and Lake Rebecca. The landscape is defined by its dramatic glacial and fluvial topography, including Barkley Coulee and prominent elevations like Starks Mound and Dills Mound.

To the north, the terrain transitions into a mix of orchards and recreational land, featuring the Afton Alps Ski Area and Afton Apple Orchards. The winding course of the Kinnickinnic River enters the St. Croix near Clifton Hollow, marked by the Kinnickinnic Sandbar. This modern record also details the area's agricultural and aviation character, from Fischer's Croix Farm Orchard to the St Croix Riviera Airport serving the local river valley communities.
