1972 Map of Hogsback Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Brunet River and its network of tributaries define the wooded landscape across the borders of Sawyer and Rusk counties in the early 1970s. This survey records the industrial and transportation footprints of northern Wisconsin, marked by the presence of numerous Gravel Pits and relic transportation corridors like the Old Railroad Grade and the Bissell Grade. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of creeks including Hogsback Creek, Nail Creek, and Tupper Creek, which drain into the Thornapple River system. Human presence is largely concentrated along transit lines, with the Swayne Lookout Tower providing a high point for forest management. The survey documents the rural township boundaries of Meadowbrook, Radisson, and Big Falls, showing a region shaped by timber history and the transition toward the contemporary recreation and resource management era.
