1944 Map of Exeland

Southward, the Dairyland Reservoir appears at the junction of the Flambeau, while the Thornapple River winds through the central townships of Hubbard and Thornapple. This survey captures a transitional moment for local industry and community life, documenting small settlements like Crane and Murry alongside landmarks such as Bellisle Falls and the Brunet Methodist Ch. The distribution of farmsteads and timbered tracts reflects the era's reliance on the river valleys for both power and transport.
