About this map

The Ice Age National Scientific Reserve (Chippewa Moraine) dominates the northern half of this landscape, showcasing the complex glacial topography of Sampson and Bloomer townships. This area is characterized by an exceptional concentration of kettle lakes, including Long Lake, Salisbury Lake, and the uniquely named Ace-in-the-Hole Lake. The map reveals a mid-1970s recreational and rural landscape where youth camps like Camp Manitou and Camp Norwesca sit alongside local infrastructure such as the Bloomer Municipal Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant markers of the area's pioneer past, including the Tillinghast Cem and Rufledt Cem. The drainage patterns of McCann Creek and O'Neil Creek feed into the southern expanse of Marsh-Miller Lake, which defines the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. Scattered Gravel Pits and a Fur Farm near Pikes Peak provide evidence of the local resource-based economy during this era.
