Houlton: MN 36: T.H.36 WB @ WI T.H. 35
Houlton sits on the eastern bank of the St. Croix River in western Wisconsin, where the river marks the boundary with Minnesota. The community lies beside St. Croix Crossing, a cable-stayed bridge opened in 2017 to carry Wisconsin Highway 64 and Minnesota State Highway 36 across the river near Stillwater. Its tall pylons and multi-lane deck make it a major modern landmark on this wooded stretch of the St. Croix, part of the federally protected St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. Just upriver, Stillwater’s former lift bridge has been retained for pedestrians and cyclists as part of the St. Croix Crossing Loop Trail. Houlton combines a quiet riverbank setting with a direct link to Stillwater, a Minnesota river town shaped by the nineteenth-century lumber trade.

Built around Great Lakes shipping, timber, and dairy farming, Wisconsin grew into a Midwestern state with a distinctive industrial and rural identity. Lake Michigan forms its eastern edge, while the Mississippi River marks much of the west; between them lie forests, farms, and thousands of inland lakes. Milwaukee, on Lake Michigan, developed as a major brewing centre, and the state’s dairy tradition remains central to its food culture. In the southwest, the Driftless Area escaped the flattening effects of the last continental glaciation, creating deeply cut river valleys and steep ridges.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
