About this map

The Chippewa River meanders through the heart of this Rusk County landscape, defining the local geography alongside its major tributaries. The settlement of Murry sits near the river's bend in the northern reaches, while the small community of Imalone marks the western edge of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the Thornapple River and the Little Thornapple River, which drain the surrounding wetlands and timberlands.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find the Saint Arins Cem situated near the banks of Clear Cr, a quiet landmark amidst the rural road grid. The map details numerous family-named routes such as Kittleson Rd and Gail Goins Rd, reflecting the generational footprint of the region's residents. From the shores of Bass Lake to the confluence of Fluhkers Cr, the map documents a terrain where the timber and river economy has long shaped the placement of roads and remote dwellings.
