About this map

Hawkins serves as the primary hub of this Northwoods landscape, situated along the Soo Line railroad which historically facilitated the region's timber and agricultural movements. The map illustrates a transition from the dense woodlands of the Flambeau River State Forest in the northwest to a more developed rural grid characterized by numerous family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find notable points of interest such as St Marys Cem and Hillcrest Cem, alongside local spiritual centers like National Ch.

The hydrography of the area is particularly detailed, featuring Shamrock Lake and the Hawkins Millpond, alongside smaller water bodies like the Cranberry Bog. The terrain is marked by the prominent Oak Ridge and several gravel pits, indicating the local geology and resource extraction. The boundary between Rusk and Price Counties runs vertically through the center, separating the townships of Georgetown and Hawkins.
