About this map

The Flambeau River and its South Fork dominate this 1945 examination of Rusk and Sawyer counties. The landscape is defined by its logging and conservation history, featuring the Flambeau River State Forest and several remote outposts like Weilep Camp and Fink Camp. A notable piece of Depression-era history is recorded at the CCC Rusk Camp (Abandoned) near Big Falls, reflecting the transition from active timber extraction to state-managed forestry.

Industrial development is concentrated along the waterways and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad, which serves the village of Ingram. The map captures essential rural infrastructure including the Big Falls Dam Power Plant, the Cedar Rapids Fire Tower, and local landmarks like the Swedish Lutheran Cem and Pioneer Sch. These details provide a clear view of the mid-century settlement patterns in the town of True and Cedar Rapids.
