2013 Map of Crane

About this map

The Chippewa River carves a winding path through this portion of Rusk County, anchoring a landscape defined by its riparian corridors and rural crossroads. Small settlements such as Murry and Imalone sit along the river's western bank, connected by the primary north-south artery of State Road 40. To the east, the terrain becomes more complex as the Thornapple River and its tributary, the Little Thornapple River, thread through the countryside near the community of Crane. This area is characterized by a dense network of local roads named for early settler families, such as Berkeypile Rd, Godfrey Rd, and Scheel Rd. The map also details smaller water bodies like Bass Lake and creeks including Big Weirgor Cr and Flunkers Cr, illustrating the well-watered timber and agricultural lands of northern Wisconsin.
