1981 Map of Bennett

About this map

Bennett and Beebe serve as the primary focal points of this northern Wisconsin landscape, situated along the corridor of the Chicago and North Western railroad. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of water and wetlands, notably the expansive Merriam Swamp and the headwaters of several significant streams, including the Middle River and the West Fork Bois Brule River. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of three distinct burial grounds—Parkview Cem, Hawthorne Cem, and Bennett Cem—located near the settled areas. Religious life is marked by the Whispering Pines Ch in the northern reach of the survey. The geography transition from the managed timber of the State Forest to the numerous glacial lakes like Lake Minnesuing and Upper St Croix Lake illustrates the region's historical reliance on both natural resources and seasonal recreation.
