1947 Map of Park Falls
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
The Flambeau River defines the industrial and geographic character of this Price County region, powering the Power Plant at Park Falls. During this era of mid-century development, the landscape transitions from the concentrated settlement at Park Falls to the expansive timberlands of the Chequamegon National Forest. The presence of the Chicago and Northwestern and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroads highlights the area's importance as a transportation hub for the timber and paper industries. Rural life is anchored by numerous small schoolhouses, such as Sweet Clover Sch and Divine Rapids Sch, which dot the townships of Eisenstein and Fifield. The map also captures several family-named water bodies and local landmarks like the Fifield Fire Tower, reflecting a period when forestry management and small-scale agriculture were central to the local economy.
