1967 Map of Stillwater

About this map

Lake St Croix and the St Croix River define the eastern boundary of this mid-century survey, separating Stillwater and Bayport in Minnesota from the Wisconsin shoreline at Houlton and North Hudson. The landscape is dotted with several notable burial grounds, including Fairview Cemetery, Boutwell Cem, and Rutherford Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in the St. Croix Valley. Further south, the prominent Minnesota State Prison complex stands near the riverbanks. The region's transport network is anchored by the Northern Pacific and Chicago and North Western railroads, which facilitated local industry such as the numerous Gravel Pits and the Quarry near Houlton. Residential growth is evident in Oak Park Heights and around inland water bodies like Lily Lake and Lake McKusick.
