About this map

Lake St Croix and the Mississippi River converge at this major river junction, where the historic town of Prescott overlooks the waters from its position in Wisconsin. The map captures a landscape defined by its riparian geometry, featuring the Kinnickinnic Sandbar and Elevator Bay along the eastern shore. Across the water in Minnesota, the small settlement of Point Douglas sits at the tip of the peninsula.

The upland terrain of Denmark and Oak Grove townships is marked by early agricultural and community landmarks, including the Evergreen Cem, Johnson Cem, and a Townhall at a rural crossroads. Notable glacial or geological features such as Starks Mound and Dills Mound rise above the surrounding fields. The transition to a more recreational landscape is evident with the emergence of Afton State Park and Kinnickinnic State Park along the bluffs, alongside a Ski Area and Golf Course.
