1901 Map of St Croix Dalles

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

The ST. Croix River serves as the dominant geographical and political boundary here, separating Chisago County, Minnesota, from Polk County, Wisconsin. In this turn-of-the-century landscape, the industrial and transport focus centers on the twin settlements of Taylors Falls and St. Croix Falls, where the river’s elevation drop provided a natural focal point for development. The intricate network of the St. Paul and Duluth R. R. and the St. Paul Minneapolis and Sault Ste. Marie R. R. underscores the importance of rail transit in connecting these river towns to broader markets. Beyond the river banks, the terrain is characterized by a high density of glacial lakes, including Big Lake, Deer Lake, and Sand Lake, which shaped the early agricultural and community layout of townships like Osceola and Farmington. Smaller vanished stops and junctions, such as Dresser Junction and Franconia Station, provide specific points of interest for those tracing the evolution of early regional commerce.
