About this map

The Elk River and Little Elk River define the watery landscape of Price County in this 1980s-era topographical study, revealing a region defined by its timber and lake resources. The map highlights the transition between the townships of Worcester, Emery, and Hackett, where industrial and natural features coincide. The presence of the Soo Line railroad and a crossing Pipeline underscores the area's role as a transit corridor for northern Wisconsin commodities.

Hydrological engineering is central to the local geography, featuring the Musser Dam and the expansive Musser Lake. For those interested in local industry and land use, the map identifies several Gravel Pits and the extensive Cranberry Bog south of Cranberry Lake. This period of the mid-1980s shows a maturing network of rural access points, from the residential clusters along East Solberg Lake Road to the remote reaches of Lost Lake and Little Chicago Road.
