1945 Map of Mercer
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Mercer Lake and the surrounding Iron County wetlands appear here during a period of significant hydroelectric development and logging-era transition. The map captures the extensive Flambeau River flowage system, documenting the impact of the Dam on the natural landscape of the Mercer and Sherman townships. Transportation is defined by the Chicago and Northwestern rail line and the emerging network of Trunk Highways. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Springstead Sch and the Mercer Fire Tower, which provided essential oversight of the surrounding timberlands. The southern portion of the sheet reaches into the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation, showing a complex terrain of glacial lakes like Lac de Beaumont and Pike Lake amidst the marshes.
