1973 Map of Black Brook

About this map

The Ackley State Wildlife Areas dominate the southern landscape of this Langlade County region, showcasing a complex network of wetlands and managed natural spaces in the early 1970s. This survey captures a moment when the transition from agricultural land to conservation and recreational use was clearly visible, with the terrain defined by the headwaters of the Pine River and the Trappe River. To the north, the Vilas Lookout Tower stands as a prominent topographical landmark, while the small settlement of Townhall serves as a local civic center.
