1944 Map of Draper

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Loretta and Draper serve as the primary focal points of this 1944 survey, situated within the dense woodlands of the Chequamegon National Forest. The landscape is defined by the East Fork Chippewa River and the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha Railway, which cuts across the central portion of the map alongside State Highway No 70. This era of Sawyer County history is characterized by its legacy of logging and forestry, evidenced by numerous named encampments such as Old Le May Camp and Old Koshack Camp scattered throughout the wetlands. Several surveillance points, including the Black Lake Fire Tower and the Site of Old Draper Tower, reflect the critical importance of fire management in this heavily timbered region. Local community life is marked by rural institutions like the Loretta Sch and the Loretta Cem.
