About this map

The town of Hayward and its surrounding northern woodlands are mapped here during a period of transition in the 1970s. The landscape is defined by the winding Namekagon River and the sprawling waters of Nelson Lake, where Big Island and Tannings Point stand out as prominent landmarks. This edition documents local infrastructure including the Hayward Airport, the State Fish Hatchery Station, and several essential community sites such as the Hayward Mem Hosp and the Drive-in Theater.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Indian Cem and Trinity Cem. The map also captures the path of an abandoned railroad line and a highway segment marked as under construction, reflecting the changing transportation network. From the commercial State Nursery to the specialized Cranberry Bog, the survey provides a detailed look at the rural economy and land use in Sawyer County during this era.
