About this map

Willow Reservoir and the surrounding river systems of Oneida and Lincoln counties define this Northwoods landscape as it appeared in the late 1930s. The map captures a transition where the timber-heavy past met the development of water management and early motorized travel. Two major rail lines, the Minneapolis Sault Ste Marie and the Marinette Tomahawk and Western, cut through the southern townships, providing the primary lifelines for rural communities like Clifford, Tripoli, and McCord. The distribution of local schools, such as Collette Sch and Harmony Sch, alongside landmarks like the Jack Pine Fire Tower, reflects a scattered but organized settlement pattern. The intricate network of waterways, including the Tomahawk River and Somo River, remained central to the region's character even as the County Trunk Highway system began to expand across the timberlands.
