About this map

The Indian Reservation Boundary cuts through this 1970s landscape, centered on the community of Mole Lake. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial water bodies, with Rolling Stone Lake and Pickerel Lake serving as major hydrological landmarks. The area maintains a rural character with a scattering of religious and civic sites, such as the Kingdom Hall and the Lookout Tower located west of Spider Creek.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and Sandpits, particularly near the shores of Crane Lake. Transportation in this northern Wisconsin region is defined by the Soo Line railroad, which tracks along the eastern edge of the sheet near Hemlock Creek. The map provides a look at the intersection of Nashville and Ainsworth, illustrating a landscape of interconnected wetlands and timbered tracts where names like Deadman Lake and Deep Hole Lake hint at the local nomenclature of the era.
