The Saint Croix River forms the central spine of this border region, carving through the Saint Croix Dalles where the sister cities of Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin, and Taylors Falls, Minnesota, face each other. This corridor is defined by its industrial and recreational history, anchored by the Saint Croix Falls 1903-C24 Dam and the Wild Mountain Ski Area Water Park to the north. Beyond the river banks, the landscape transitions into a grid of rural avenues and farming communities like Shafer and Palmdale. Genealogists will find several burial grounds including Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Kahbakong Cemetery. The presence of small airfields like Beskar Airport and Taylors Falls Airport highlights the dispersed infrastructure supporting the local river valley economy.
