About this map

The St Croix River defines the western edge of this 1982 landscape, serving as the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. Much of the northern terrain is preserved within the St Croix State Park and Governor Knowles State Forest, characterized by dense woodland and significant water bodies like Yellow Lake and its smaller counterpart, Little Yellow Lake. The map reveals a region dedicated to outdoor recreation and conservation, featuring the Danbury Public Hunting Grounds and several specialized routes like the State Trail and a dedicated Snowmobile Trail.

Local history is preserved in small landmarks such as St Johns Landing and the Ice House Bridge over the Clam River. Genealogists may find value in the locations of the Bluff Lake Cem and Perida Cem. The infrastructure of the early 1980s is visible through various rural roads like Cutler Road and Olinger Road, which connect the scattered settlements and recreational sites across Union and Lincoln townships.
