About this map

The Chippewa River meanders through this landscape, marking the convergence of the Brunet River and the Couderay River within the township of Radisson. The village of Exeland serves as the primary settlement, positioned along the Soo Line Railroad where it intersects with local roads like Swede Road. This 1972 survey captures a rural Wisconsin community centered around its local institutions and the water. To the west of the rail line, the Weirgor Springs State Wildlife Area and Weirgor Springs State Public Hunting Grounds define the conservation-minded character of the terrain.

Genealogists will find value in the specific locations of the Bellile Cem, the Mennonite Cem, and the Exeland Ch. Numerous named water bodies like Windfall Lake, Miller Lake, and Jacques Lake are interspersed with several gravel pits, indicating the geological makeup of the region. The map also delineates the county line between Sawyer Co and Rusk Co in the south, providing a clear reference for property research and historical boundaries.
