About this map

Kennedy sits at the heart of a densely forested landscape where the boundaries of Sawyer, Ashland, and Price counties converge. This 1970 snapshot reveals a region defined by its conservation and recreation networks, with the Chequamegon National Forest and Chippewa National Forest spanning the northern reaches. To the south, the Flambeau River winds through the Flambeau River State Forest, supported by infrastructure like the Gaging Station and a dedicated Snowmobile Trail for winter access.

Water dominates the local geography, from larger bodies like Round Lake and Lake Alice to the intricate drainage system of Pine Creek and Hay Creek. The presence of scattered Gravel Pit locations suggests the ongoing maintenance of remote logging and access routes such as Forest Road No 163. This map captures the area just as modern forest management and recreational land use began to solidify the character of this Northwoods wilderness.
