1974 Map of Frederic SW

About this map

The village of Luck stands as the primary hub of settlement in this 1974 orthophotoquad, which utilizes aerial imagery taken by the Geological Survey to document the Wisconsin landscape. The terrain is characterized by a patchwork of agricultural fields and dense woodland, punctuated by numerous glacial lakes and smaller kettle ponds. This specific survey style emphasizes the actual land use and vegetation patterns of the mid-1970s, providing a clear visual record of the rural property divisions and the extent of forest cover surrounding the village. The intricate network of township roads and agricultural clearing around Luck reflects the area's deep-rooted farming heritage and its evolution into a settled recreational landscape in the late twentieth century.
