1970 Map of Butternut Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Butternut Lake dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its shoreline traced by Lakeshore Drive and dotted with numerous gravel pits. The 1970 landscape is defined by the heavy presence of the Flambeau River State Forest in the south, where the Flambeau River reaches the Pixley Dam to form the Pixley Flowage. Throughout the central timberlands, a network of local roads such as Maple Ridge Road and Kaiser Road connect small water bodies like Buckman Lake and Cooley Lake. The map reveals the industrial and navigational history of the area through the presence of the Chicago and North Western rail line and the Kennedy Lookout Tower standing sentinel over the northern heights. A dense network of tributaries, including Timm Creek and Beaver Creek, feed into the larger river systems, illustrating the complex drainage of the northern woods.
