1947 Map of Minong
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The St Croix Flowage and the upper reaches of the St Croix River define the northern boundary of this 1947 field survey, where the water-rich landscape of northwest Wisconsin is captured before modern development. The region's transport network is anchored by U S Highway 53 and the Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha Ry, which run parallel through the glacial terrain. Local life in Minong and Wascott is detailed through the location of essential community structures, including the Wascott Ch and rural education centers like Hoover Sch and Whittier Sch. The map reveals an intricate mosaic of lakes and wetlands, such as the Cranberry Bog and the extensive Lake Nancy Flowage, illustrating a landscape shaped by both natural hydrology and early 20th-century water management for the timber and recreation industries.
