1970 Map of Medford NW

About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Mondeaux Dam Ranger District meets the Medford Ranger District. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes, including Sackett Lake and the Washington Flowage. Local history is anchored by the Molitor Cem and the Brookside Sch, reflecting the sparse but established rural community within the townships of Molitor, Chelsea, Hammel, and Medford. Waterways such as the Black River and the North Fork Yellow River drain the marshy lowlands between numerous gravel pits. Family-named landmarks like Matt Ochs Lake and small crossroads like Murat provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings in Taylor County.
