About this map

The town of Princeton sits at the heart of this Washington County landscape, positioned between the waters of Lewy Lake and the Grand Falls Flowage. This 1990 survey captures the unique geography of the St. Croix Valley region, where the Indian Twp Indian Reservation borders the northern reaches of the settlement. The map documents the scattered residential patterns of West Princeton and South Princeton, along with local landmarks such as the Princeton Cem and the Municipal Airport.

To the south, the terrain is dominated by the prominent Pocomoonshine Mountain, which overlooks the irregular coastline of Pocomoonshine Lake. The complex hydrology of the area is evident in the numerous coves and heaths, including Elijah Brown Heath and Sawtelle Heath. This map is particularly useful for tracing land use at the end of the twentieth century, showing the relationship between the organized township boundaries of Baileyville, Alexander, and Plantation No 21.
