About this map

Nelson Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the northern landscape of this 1970s survey, showing recreation and conservation alongside the growing community of Hayward. The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor remains a primary artery, passing through Phipps and paralleling the Namekagon River. Local history is deeply embedded in the map's labels, from the Indian Cemetery and Indian School Lake to the active presence of state-managed resources like the State Fish Rearing Station and State Nursery.

Land use patterns reveal a mixture of industry and civic life, featuring numerous Gravel Pits and the Hayward Airport alongside the Hayward Memorial Hospital and a Drive-in Theater. Water remains the central character of the terrain, with labels for specialized features like the Cranberry Bog near Smith Lake and the natural springs such as Turk Spring and Phipps Spring feeding into the river system.
