About this map

Old Weaver Camp and Hay-Stack Corner highlight the sparse human settlement across this northern Wisconsin landscape in the early 1970s. The map reveals a region defined by extensive public lands and water resources, including the southern reaches of the town of Winter and the northern boundary of the Flambeau River State Forest. The intricate drainage system is anchored by the Thornapple River and the Little Thornapple River, which flow through the center of the sheet towards the Flambeau River in the southeast corner.

Evidence of early logging and transport infrastructure remains visible through the network of named paths and historical markers. The Bissell Grade and the Winter Trail suggest older transportation corridors, while the presence of several Gravel Pits indicates local industry related to road maintenance or construction. Conservation areas such as the Silvernail State Wildlife Management Area demonstrate the mid-century transition towards formal wildlife and forest management in Sawyer and Rusk counties.
