About this map

The industrial and civic heart of Park Falls centers on the powerful Flambeau River, where a Powerplant and various municipal services anchor the community. By the mid-1980s, the town's layout reflects a mature Northwoods settlement, with residential clusters in Lymantown and infrastructure like the Municipal Airport and Hospital supporting the local population. The Soo Line railroad bisects the landscape, providing a critical transportation link through the town and southward toward Fifield.

Moving away from the urban center, the map reveals a terrain defined by water and woods, from the winding South Fork Flambeau River to smaller features like Smith Lake and Murray Creek. Significant local landmarks include Nola Cem and Forest Home Cem, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogists. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a designated Snowmobile Trail highlights the region's reliance on both extractive industry and recreational tourism.
