About this map

The St Croix National Scenic Riverway dominates this landscape, winding through the corners of Douglas, Burnett, and Washburn Counties. This protected corridor includes quiet landmarks like Schoen Park and the Coppermine Dam on the St Croix River. The map reveals a transition between dense hydrography and early industrial or agricultural footprints, evidenced by the Old RR Grade Road and various Gravel Pits scattered near the settlement of Sandpits.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Riverhill Cem situated near the intersection of Scott Road and Westman Road. Further south, the terrain softens into a network of kettle lakes including Little Sand Lake, Big Sand Lake, and the namesake Scovils Lake. Small landings and public access points like Louise Park Public Access indicate a region long-defined by its water-based recreation and timber-hauling history.
