About this map

The Pine River and Eau Claire River systems carve through this rural Northwoods landscape at the junction of Lincoln, Langlade, and Marathon counties. Small rural centers like Doering and Hogarty serve as anchors for a dispersed farming and timber community. The density of country schoolhouses, such as Doering Sch, McMynn Sch, and Sunrise Sch, reflects a mid-century social structure where education was decentralized and locally managed.

Conservation and fire management are evident through the presence of the Ackley Lookout Tower and Aniwa Lookout Tower, while the Dells of the Eau Claire highlights the region's unique geological features along the riverbanks. The map also traces a network of spiritual life in the townships of Texas, Harrison, and Schley, documented by locations like Wildwood Ch and St Matthews Ch. This survey, compiled from 1950 aerial photography, preserves the footprint of these small settlements and their associated infrastructure before the later consolidation of rural districts.
