About this map

Chequamegon National Forest anchors the northern boundary of this central Wisconsin landscape, where the Black River and its various tributaries define the rural layout. The map documents a late 1960s agricultural and timber-based economy, evidenced by the dispersed township structure across Maplehurst, Holway, Hixon, and Hoard. While much of the land is divided into a strict grid of farmsteads and woodlots, community life is anchored by landmarks like St Marys Ch and the Poplar Grove Sch. The topography is subtly marked by watercourses such as Pine Creek, Trappers Creek, and Syrup Creek, which historically dictated the placement of roads and early clearings. Local industry is represented by several Gravel Pits scattered near the riverbanks, providing material for the township's developing road network near the Townhall.
