1971 Map of Ladysmith SE

About this map

Jump River Flowage dominates the southwestern portion of this 1971 survey, where the rising waters of the Holcombe Elevation 1044 project transformed the confluence of the Jump River. The landscape reflects a shift from traditional rural farming towards water-based recreation and power generation, evidenced by the development around Paradise Point. Despite these changes, older civic anchors remain visible, such as the Willard Sch Townhall located further north in the town of Willard. Away from the flowage, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Main Creek and Skunk Creek, cutting through a mix of woodland and agricultural clearings. This document captures the region during a period when the newly created shoreline was still defining the local geography and road network.
