1967 Map of Stillwater

About this map

The St Croix River Lake serves as the central artery for this 1967 survey of the borderlands between Minnesota and Wisconsin, reflecting a landscape defined by its glacial lakes and riverine industry. The city of Stillwater dominates the western bank, its urban core marked by the Courthouse and City Hall, while its residential expansion is tracked through photorevisions showing growth toward Lily Lake and Lake McKusick. Across the water, the settlement of Houlton and the riverside tracks of the Chicago and North Western railroads highlight the historical importance of this corridor for regional commerce.
