About this map

Ladysmith serves as the focal point of this Rusk County study, positioned at the confluence of the Flambeau River and local tributaries. The urban grid is clearly defined, showing the proximity of the Rusk Co Fairgrounds to the river's northern bend. To the east, the sprawling Dairyland Reservoir dominates the landscape, featuring the distinctively named Bunyans Hat Island.

Further south, the smaller settlement of Conrath marks the transition into a landscape heavily etched by a network of drainage, including Deer Tail Cr, Main Creek, and Skunk Cr. The map illustrates the 21st-century infrastructure supporting the region, from the Rusk County Airport in the northeast to the various county highways like Co Hwy-J and Co Hwy-P that link these rural communities. The drainage patterns of Bruno Lake Ditch and Twin Cr in the northwest reflect the managed hydrology of the Wisconsin northwoods.
