About this map

The Sunrise settlement serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey, situated near the confluence where the Sunrise River and the N Br Sunrise River meet the sweeping curves of the Saint Croix River. This riverine landscape defines the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, with the Trade River and Cowan Cr feeding into the main channel from the east.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Old Settlers Cemetery and Sunrise Cem, which anchor the early history of Sunrise Township. The map traces a network of rural routes that hint at the area's agricultural and transit heritage, including Ferry Rd and Poor Farm Rd. Modern infrastructure like the Saint Croix Trl and Electric Line Trl now cross the same terrain that once relied on river ferries to connect Chisago Co with its neighbors across the water.
