About this map

The Saint Croix River forms the central spine of this borderland geography, where the steep dalles separate Taylors Falls, Minnesota, from St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. This modern survey illustrates the conservation landscape of the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway, which protects the river's islands and shoreline. The terrain rises sharply from the water toward Wild Mtn and the glacially-formed depressions of Colby Lake and Wyckstrom Lake.

Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem and Kahbakong Cem near the river bluffs. The map also traces the local rail corridors and the transition from the concentrated settlements of Shafer and Dresser to the rural tracts managed under the Farm Service Agency Interest of Minnesota. The detailed road network, from Saint Croix Trl to smaller routes like Otter Slide Ave, shows the evolved infrastructure of these historic river towns.
