1955 Map of Rush City

About this map

The St Croix River carves a winding path along the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin, defining the character of this mid-century landscape. This survey documents the rail-oriented growth along the Northern Pacific corridor, where the settlements of Rush City, Harris, and North Branch serve as primary hubs. East of the tracks, the terrain shifts toward the river bottomlands and wetlands, punctuated by smaller communities like Sunrise.
