About this map

Lake Nokomis and the Rice River Flowage dominate this northern Wisconsin landscape at the border of Oneida and Lincoln Counties. The settlement of Heafford Junction serves as a central hub, marking the intersection where the Soo Line railroad crosses the water-rich terrain. This area reflects a mid-century evolution from a wilderness timber region into a dedicated recreational corridor, evidenced by the large Cassian-Woodboro County Recreation Area and the Inshalla Country Club.

Detailed hydrography shows a complex network of glacial lakes and river channels, including the Tomahawk River and the Jersey City Flowage. Local landmarks such as the Hiawatha Sch and Metz provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these small lakefront communities. The presence of Wayside Park and multiple public access points highlights the region's 20th-century focus on seasonal tourism and outdoor leisure.
