1945 Map of Kennedy

About this map

The Chicago and Northwestern railroad and the Flambeau River define the industrial and transit landscape of Price and Ashland counties in this early 1940s survey. Much of the western territory is situated within the Chequamegon National Forest, where a network of observation points including the Kennedy Fire Tower and Lugerville Fire Tower monitored the dense woodlands. Settlements like Kennedy and Lugerville appear as small hubs tied to the rail line and the river's water power, which was harnessed by structures such as the Crowley Dam and Pixley Dam.
