This early version of Mitchell’s school Map No. 15 can be confirmed by the configuration of St. Croix County, Wisconsin. When Wisconsin was admitted to the Union as a full-fledged state in 1848, the western boundary was set at the St. Croix River, thus creating the western boundary of St. Croix County. At the time, St. Croix County was considerably larger than it is today, and included what is now Pierce and Polk counties. It remained like this until a final reorganization of county boundaries in 1853. The towns of Elizabeth and Buena Vista were laid out at the first meeting of the county board of supervisors in 1849. Elizabeth was renamed Prescott in 1851. Buena Vista was changed to Willow River and changed again to Hudson in 1852, as it remains today. Most Mitchell No. 15 maps show a truncated St. Croix County reduced by Polk County, but this is the scarce early version showing the full St. Croix County. Extremely clean and presentable example. 8.375 x 10.625
