1947 Map of Draper

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Timber and rail networks define this Sawyer County landscape, where the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie Railroad and the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha Railway converge near the settlements of Loretta and Draper. The map records a transition from active logging to conservation, with numerous former work sites such as Old Le May Camp and Old Christmas Camp scattered through the woods. Surveillance of the surrounding Flambeau River State Forest is maintained through a network of lookouts, including the Black Lake Fire Tower and the Brunet Fire Tower, while local community life is anchored by the Loretta Cem and Barber Lake Sch. Significant water features like Blaisdell Lake and the Chippewa River dominate the northern terrain, illustrating the region's historical reliance on its waterways and rail lines.
