2015 Map of Ladysmith

About this map

The Flambeau River defines the landscape of Rusk County in this 2015 survey, winding through the city of Ladysmith and creating the Ladysmith Flowage as it passes the town center. The industrial and civic heart of the county is visible here, anchored by the Rusk County Airport and the village of Tony to the east. The river's path is marked by recreational and historical points, from the Dairyland Reservoir with its curiously named Bunyans Hat Island to the quiet waters of Corbett Lake. Numerous local burial grounds, such as Riverside Cem and the Old Ladysmith Cem, provide significant touchstones for genealogists studying the families of the Upper Chippewa Valley. To the south, the settlement of Conrath sits near the banks of Main Creek, illustrating the spread of small-town development along the region's smaller tributaries like Deer Tail Cr and Skunk Cr.
