1949 Map of Red Beach

About this map

Red Beach sits at the confluence of the St Croix River and Red Beach Cove, serving as a primary settlement point in this post-war survey of Washington County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the expansive Nashs Lake and Boyden Lake, which dominate the interior terrain between the townships of Robbinston and Charlotte. The map details local infrastructure such as the Robbinston Ridge Ch and the nearby South Robbinston Ridge Sch, highlighting the community nodes established along the ridge lines. Large portions of the western terrain are dedicated to the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, where the drainage of Dead Meadow Stream and Moosehorn Brook create a complex marshland environment. Coastal features like Little Dochet Island and Half Tide Ledge provide critical detail for the river's navigational history during the late 1940s.
