1941 Map of Kennedy

About this map

The Chicago and Northwestern railroad corridor provides a central axis for this rural landscape, connecting small settlements like Kennedy and Kaiser during the early 1940s. The region is defined by its extensive water network and timber-related infrastructure, featuring the Million Acre Swamp and numerous named fire lookouts such as the Kennedy Fire Tower and Lugerville Fire Tower. Industrial activity is evident along the waterways, where the Pixley Dam and Crowley Dam manage the river's flow, while the Old Mill Dam near Lugerville points to the area's milling history.
