1951 Map of Prescott

About this map

Lake St Croix dominates this 1951 survey, marking the convergence of the Mississippi River and its major tributaries at the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin. The river economy is evident through the massive infrastructure at Hastings Lock & Dam and the strategically placed Elevator Bay. On the Minnesota side, the landscape is dotted with rural institutions such as Eden Grove Sch and Pennington Sch, while the settlement of Point Douglas sits at the very tip of the peninsula where the waters meet.
