1970 Map of Oxbo

About this map

The North Fork Flambeau River winds through this heavily forested landscape in northern Wisconsin, serving as a primary corridor for recreation and timber history. Near the settlement of Oxbo, the river environment is characterized by distinctive features like Barnaby Rapids and Deadman Slough. The map documents a transition toward public land management and conservation, notably within the Kimberly-Clark Wildlife Area and around Connors Lake, where a Picnic Area and Connors Lake Lookout Tower overlook the water. Transportation and logistics are concentrated along the Sawyer Price Co Road, including the remote Mason Lake Landing Field. This 1970 snapshot reflects an era of established forest management and developed river access, marked by numerous named lakes such as Evergreen Lake, Swamp Lake, and Middle Price Lake that define the interior of Sawyer and Price counties.
