1950 Map of Rush City
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The St Croix River defines the western border of this landscape at the dawn of the 1950s, acting as the primary boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Along its banks, the Rush City Ferry provides a vital river crossing point near the township of Randall. This area shows a transition from the agricultural clearings of Sterling and Anderson to the more wooded, swamp-prone sections of Grantsburg. The presence of the Logging RR in the northern reaches of the quadrangle suggests the continuing legacy of the region's timber industry, while the Northern Pacific railroad facilitates broader commerce. Local life is anchored by landmarks like the Pleasant Prairie Ch, Fish Lake Sch, and the Indian Cem, reflecting a long-settled community with deep roots in the river valley.
