1949 Map of Ogema

About this map

The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie Railway corridor anchors this late-1940s survey of Price and Taylor Counties, connecting the villages of Ogema and Westboro. This northern Wisconsin timber and dairy landscape is defined by the dense network of rural one-room schoolhouses that once served these dispersed communities, including Woodland School, Larkin School, and Maple Grove School. To the west, the Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the drainage of the South Fork Jump River and the Mondeaux River, where the Mondeaux Dam controls the flow near the Rindt Fire Tower. The map provides a detailed look at local infrastructure before modern consolidation, showing numerous small lakes such as Chelsea Lake and North Twin Lake alongside the Mt Olive Cemetery, preserving the mid-century layout of these Northwoods townships.
