About this map

The Chippewa River and its numerous tributaries, including Thornapple Creek and the Brunet River, dominate this mid-century landscape in the Chequamegon National Forest. This era of Sawyer County history is characterized by the transition from heavy logging to managed forestry and emerging recreation, evidenced by the presence of numerous specialized camps such as Old Le May Camp and Old Christmas Camp. The small settlements of Loretta and Draper serve as the primary hubs along the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie Railway and State Highway No 70.
