1971 Map of Loretta

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Draper and Loretta serve as the primary human settlements in this northern Wisconsin landscape, appearing at a time when the timber and recreation economy defined the region. Located near the Sawyer Co and Ashland Co border, the area is dominated by the dense woodlands of the Chequamegon National Forest. The complex drainage patterns of the Chippewa River and the Flambeau River are visible, with smaller tributaries like Flyblow Creek and Swanson Creek feeding into numerous glacial lakes. The presence of the Brunet Lookout Tower highlights the era's fire management infrastructure within the forest, while Deer Haven Camp and a prominent Snowmobile Trail indicate the established recreational use of the land. Mapping also captures the irregular shoreline of Bear Lake and the marshy edges of Loretta Lake, providing a clear view of the aquatic geography before modern development or environmental shifts altered the Northwoods interior.
