About this map

Stillwater dominates this riverfront survey, centered on the historic river landing where the St Croix River meets the expanding urban footprint of the late 1960s. The map captures a detailed view of the community's civic infrastructure, from the Courthouse and Washington Sch to the prominent Minnesota State Prison located just south of Oak Park Heights. The landscape is a mix of industrial river use and residential growth, with purple photorevisions from 1977 highlighting the suburban spread toward Lake McKusick and Lily Lake.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high concentration of burial sites, including Fairview Cemetery, Boutwell Cem, and Hazelwood Cem in Bayport. Along the Wisconsin shore, the village of Houlton and its namesake Houlton Cem overlook the Interstate Bridge. The rail-centered geography of the era is evident at Carnelian Junction and along the Chicago and North Western tracks, while remnant quarries and gravel pits suggest the local extractive industries of the mid-20th century.
