About this map

Flambeau River defines the industrial and geographic character of this Price County landscape, powering the Power Plant at Park Falls. The 1941 field examination shows a region transitioning from its logging roots into a stable network of small settlements and rural school districts. The Chicago and Northwestern and Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads intersect here, facilitating the movement of timber and goods through Fifield and Lymantown.

Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain is dotted with small neighborhood schools like Divine Rapids Sch and Sugarbush Sch, serving scattered farmsteads and timber tracts. Notable local landmarks include the Fifield Fire Tower and the Nolr Cem, while the southern reaches near Lugerville and Mt Pelee show a landscape of creeks and marshes, including Sailor Creek and Hoffman Creek, which feed into the extensive river system.
