1962 Map of Florence SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The northern reaches of the Nicolet National Forest dominate this early 1960s landscape, where a dense network of waterways defines the terrain. The small community of Fern is the primary settlement, situated along a north-south roadway near the eastern boundary. The topography is shaped by the winding Popple River, featuring several distinct water-level drops such as the Popple Rapids and Popple River Rapids. This area is characterized by its numerous glacial lakes and creeks, including the interconnected Patten Lake and Price Lake to the north, and the more secluded Lund Lake to the south. Local industrial activity is limited to small-scale extraction, evidenced by several scattered Gravel Pit sites. The map also highlights public recreation areas like the Roadside Park, providing a view of the forest and river systems before significant modern development altered these wilder corridors of Florence County.
