About this map

The Flambeau River carves through this northern Wisconsin landscape, feeding the Dairyland Reservoir and passing natural landmarks like Beaver Dam Rapids and Little Cedar Rapids. This Rusk County terrain is defined by a dense network of local water bodies, including the expansive Big Swamp in the north and smaller features like McGee Lake to the east.

Settlement is focused near the southern edge at Glen Flora, where family and community history is preserved at the Swedish Cem and Glenview Cem. The map illustrates a rural infrastructure of named roads such as Mae West Rd and School Rd, revealing a landscape where forestry and hydropower interests meet established local homesteads. Extensive wetlands surround tributaries like Stony Cr and Deer Tail Cr, showing the persistent wild character of the upper Flambeau valley.
