About this map

Court Oreilles Lake and Grindstone Lake dominate the northern landscape of this Sawyer County survey, where the Lac Court Oreilles Indian Reservation Boundary marks a significant cultural and administrative division. The era's transportation network is defined by the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha and Northwestern railroads, which parallel the Couderay River through the heart of the region.

Community life is anchored by small rural centers like Hauer and Lemington, alongside social landmarks such as The Northwoods Beach and Sacred Heart Ch. The map provides detailed locations for local education, including the Kinnamon Sch and Boylan Sch. Notable infrastructure from the mid-1940s, such as the Billy Boy Dam and the Sand Lake Fire Tower, reflects the era's focus on resource management and fire prevention in the northern Wisconsin woods.
