1972 Map of Bucks Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Blue Hills dominate this portion of Rusk County, creating a landscape defined by glacial topography and an extensive network of managed water bodies. In the early 1970s, this area served as a significant recreational and conservation hub, anchored by the Devils Creek State Wildlife Management Area and the Blue Hills Lookout Tower standing near Mt Atlanta. The map reveals a complex system of flowages and natural lakes, including Murphy Flowage, Audie Lake, and Bucks Lake, many featuring dedicated picnic areas and campgrounds. A local Townhall and scattered gravel pits point to the civic and material needs of the rural townships of Wilson, Wilkinson, Atlanta, and Murry. The presence of the Serley Camp Trail and numerous unnamed trails suggest a region deeply integrated with timber management and seasonal outdoor activity.
