The Saint Croix River forms a majestic boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin, anchoring a landscape where the historic river towns of Stillwater and Bayport have long thrived. The area is defined by a dense concentration of local heritage sites, including numerous historic burying grounds like Fairview Cem and Saint Michael Cem. The transition from the developed riverfront to the glacial lake country of the west is marked by a network of water bodies such as Big Carnelian Lake, Silver Lake, and Lake McKusick. The protected corridor of the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway preserves the shoreline, while further inland, the regional infrastructure is supported by the Lake Elmo Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the mid-2010s geography of Washington County and St. Croix County, from the heights of Oak Park Heights to the residential streets of Houlton and North Hudson.
