About this map

The town of Dover anchors this portion of Price County, situated where Martins Drive and Birchwood Drive intersect. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of the Elk River and the Little Elk River, which flow through the marshy lowlands of Elk Valley. This 1970s survey captures a transition in land use, showing the Chequamegon National Forest occupying the eastern portion of the quadrangle, including a designated Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area within the Park Falls Ranger District.

Cultural landmarks and transportation history are visible in the many segments of the Old Railroad Grade that cross the townships of Worcester and Emery. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies the Emery Cem and a Townhall near the center of the sheet. Scattered Gravel Pits suggest the local industrial activity of the era, while named roads like Evergreen Road and Musser Drive provide a detailed view of rural accessibility during the late 20th century.
