1979 Map of Mead Lake West

About this map

The North Fork Eau Claire River and South Fork Eau Claire River converge in this corner of Clark County, defining a landscape of wetlands and wooded uplands. In the late 1970s, the eastern portion of this map is dominated by Mead Lake, a prominent water body supporting recreation at North Mead Lake County Park and the Veterans Memorial County Park Camp. The map provides a clear record of local civic and community landmarks, including the centrally located Butler Cem and a nearby Townhall. Terrain features such as the Blue Swamp to the west and the elevations of North Mound and Middle Mound to the southeast frame the agricultural and timbered tracts of Butler and Mead townships. This survey serves as a precise document of rural infrastructure, from the local Sandpit and Gravel Pit operations to the major Pipeline corridor cutting through the southern timberlands.
