1972 Map of Crane

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Chippewa River and Flambeau River converge in this northern Wisconsin landscape, shaping the development of Rusk County's early settlements. Small communities like Murry and Imalone are documented alongside local landmarks such as St Anns Ch and the neighboring Cem. The map captures a moment of transition in rural transportation and industry, showing the functioning Soo Line rail alongside an Old RR Grade, marking the path of former timber or freight routes. Near the settlement of Crane (Flom Sta), the terrain is punctuated by numerous Gravel Pits and a Sandpit, reflecting the local extraction economy. Extensive marshlands and drainage networks, including Big Weirgor Creek and the Thornapple River, illustrate the hydraulic complexity of this glacial region as it appeared in the early 1970s.
