1951 Map of Prescott

About this map

Lake St Croix dominates the center of this mid-century survey, marking the vital confluence where its waters meet the Mississippi River at Point Douglas. The landscape reveals a post-war rural infrastructure defined by township boundaries like Denmark and Clifton, where small local schools such as Eden Grove Sch and School No 49 served dispersed farming communities. Along the Wisconsin shore, the Kinnickinnic River feeds into the lake near the Kinnickinnic Sand Bar, while the western banks show the industrial footprint of the City of Hastings near the Hastings Lock & Dam.
