1973 Map of Mattoon
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The boundary between Langlade and Shawano counties cuts through this 1970s landscape, where the village of Mattoon and the smaller settlement of Phlox anchor a region defined by its glacial lakes and river systems. To the south, the lumber and rail legacy is visible in the Old Railroad Grade passing near the Shelley Landing Field. This era saw significant land management for recreation and conservation, evidenced by the Demlow Lake State Fishery Area and Deneault Springs State Fishery Area. Further north, a network of family-named water bodies like Thompson Lake and Meyer Lake are interspersed with local landmarks like Crestwood Sch and the Norwood Cem. The winding West Branch Red River connects several smaller lakes, such as Phlox Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the local economy and settlement locations.
