About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest and the Park Falls Ranger District dominate the northeastern portion of this Wisconsin landscape, where the Elk River and its various branches create a complex network of wetlands and waterways. The map illustrates a transitional rural economy, where an Old Railroad Grade once serviced the timber and transport needs of the area, now replaced by a grid of named local routes like Musser Drive and Blueberry Drive.

Small local landmarks provide a look into the community's mid-century footprint, including the Townhall near Dover and the Emery Cem further south. To the west, the settlement of Uher sits near the Little Elk River, surrounded by several active and inactive Gravel Pits. The topography is notably defined by the basin of Musser L, while numerous creeks like Popple Cr and Horton Creek feed into the river systems that defined the region's development.
