About this map

The St. Croix River and Mississippi River confluence serves as the focal point of this 2015 study, illustrating the modern geography of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border. On the western bank, the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area encompasses the riverfront near Point Douglas, while the eastern Wisconsin side features the winding Kinnickinnic River emptying past the Kinnickinnic Sandbar. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plots and expanding residential corridors, particularly near Cottage Grove and the historic settlement of Afton.

Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Saint Mary's Episcopal Cem in Basswood Grove and the Leavitt Cem situated near Conley Lake. Distinctive terrain features like Barkley Coulee, Dills Mound, and Starks Mound punctuate the river bluffs. In the north, the St Croix Riviera Airport represents modern infrastructure alongside the established road network of Manning Ave S and Washington Co Hwy 22.
