1951 Map of Cornell
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Chippewa River serves as the central artery for this portion of Chippewa County, flowing through the industrial and natural landscape of Cornell and Holcombe. The 1950s map documents a region defined by hydroelectric development and rural education, featuring the Holcombe Flowage and the Walker-Jackson Dam alongside a dense network of one-room schoolhouses such as Eleanor Sch and Pleasant Ridge Sch. The Chicago and North Western railroad parallels the river, connecting the riverside settlements of Cobban and Arnold. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous religious and burial sites, including St Anthony Ch and the adjacent Bohemia Cem. Further north, Brunet Island State Park highlights the area's transition into a recreational landscape as the lumbering era's infrastructure was repurposed for conservation and power.
