1955 Map of Rush City

About this map

The St Croix River serves as the central artery and natural boundary of this mid-century landscape, separating the agricultural plains of Minnesota from the wooded marshes of Wisconsin. The Northern Pacific railroad corridor anchors the western settlements, connecting Rush City and North Branch through a network of family-centered landmarks and community sites. Traces of early infrastructure are visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of Goose Creek, while the presence of the Sterling Lookout Tower and a Gaging Station on the river reflect the era’s focus on resource management and fire prevention.
