About this map

The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad defines the corridor through St Croix Falls and Taylors Falls, where the landscape transitions from industrial rail infrastructure to the dramatic topography of Lake of the Dalles. This mid-century survey captures a network of rural communities during a period of transition, marked by the presence of the Osceola Air Force Station and the Osceola Landing Field.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community landmarks, from the Kahbakong Cem to various rural educational sites. The map documents several decommissioned institutions, such as El Salem Sch (Abandoned) and Ubet Sch (Abandoned), which provide concrete evidence of shifting population centers. Local religious life is anchored by structures like West Immanuel Ch and Rock Creek Ch, serving as focal points for the scattered farmsteads of Garfield and Farmington.
