About this map

Conservation lands dominate this portion of Pine County, where the St Croix State Forest and the St Croix State Park meet in a landscape of wetlands and winding waterways. The map details a complex hydrologic network including Wilbur Lake, Tamarack Lake, and the meandering West Fork Crooked Creek. This early 1980s data highlights the region's dedication to habitat preservation, evidenced by the Pine County State Game Refuge and the Mc Gowan State Wildlife Management Area.

Boundaries for the townships of Danforth, Wilma, and Clover intersect here, reflecting the administrative layout of the north woods. Human activity is largely focused on recreation and resource extraction, with a campground and Rest Area near Lake Olive and several Gravel Pits scattered across the township lines. The inclusion of the Mille Lacs Indian Res Bdy provides important context for regional land rights and history.
