1951 Map of Prescott
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The confluence of the Mississippi River and Lake St Croix creates a striking geographical centerpiece where Minnesota and Wisconsin meet. At the southern junction, Point Douglas and the City of Hastings stand opposite Prescott, linked by the massive Hastings Lock & Dam complex. The landscape is defined by the high bluffs of Denmark and Clifton townships, carved by deep ravines like Barkley Coulee and Trout Brook. Evidence of early community organization is abundant, with several rural schoolhouses—such as Eden Grove Sch, Basswood Grove Sch, and Pennington Sch—serving the farming districts. Heavy industrial and transport infrastructure, including the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad, follows the riverbank, supporting the regional grain and timber trade centered around Elevator Bay.
