1968 Map of Park Falls

About this map

Park Falls serves as a central hub on the South Fork Flambeau River during this 1960s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by timber, water power, and the transition of transit. The map records the industrial footprint of the Powerplant and Cummings Dam, while the expansion of the Park Falls Municipal Airport and nearby Lymantown shows a community growing beyond its early river-based roots. To the south, the village of Fifield sits at the edge of the sprawling Chequamegon National Forest, where the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits points to the area's logging and resource extraction history.
