About this map

The Wolf River winds through the townships of Ainsworth, Langlade, and Price in this early 1970s survey. This glacial landscape is defined by its extensive water network, featuring numerous kettle lakes and spring-fed systems like Augustyn Springs and Harper Springs. Small settlements and local landmarks are concentrated near the river and the community of Pearson, where the Pearson Cem and a local Townhall serve the rural population.

Transport and land use patterns are visible through the Old Railroad Grade and active resource extraction sites like Gravel Pits and a Sandpit. Much of the territory is dedicated to conservation and recreation, including the Upper Wolf River State Fishery Area and Camp Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan. This period captures the region's character as a hub for both logging-era remnants and modern public land management, anchored by spiritual and social centers like New St Johns Ch.
