About this map

The Apple River flows through the town of Somerset, where local infrastructure including a Water Tank and High Sch sits near the Soo Line tracks. This mid-1970s landscape shows a transition between the established village centers and the developing recreational areas of St. Croix County. To the south, the village of Burkhardt is situated near the Chicago and North Western rail line and the extensive Willow River State Park, which encompasses Little Falls Lake and Mounds Pond.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several significant sites for family history, including Pioneer Cem, Emanuel Ch, and an unnamed cemetery near the Snow Great Ski Area. The western border follows the St Croix River, including the St Croix Islands State Wildlife Area. This era reflects a landscape defined by its glacial lakes, such as North Bass Lake and Perch Lake, and its network of country roads like Old Grade Railroad Road and Boardman Road.
