About this map

The Yellow River winds through this Northwest Wisconsin landscape, where the St Croix Indian Reservation occupies a significant tract along the shores of Rice Lake. This 1982 map illustrates a rural interior defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a dense network of lakes such as Lipsett Lake, Poquettes Lake, and Meads Lake. The settlement pattern is sparse, centered around local institutions like the Green Grove Alliance Ch and the nearby Greendale Cem in the Greendale area.

Industrial and conservation uses sit side-by-side, with several Gravel Pits noted alongside the Clam River State Fishery Area. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Bashaw Valley in the south to the evocative Sleepy Hollow further north. Notable local landmarks including the Townhall and Bashaw Trout Springs provide valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing family lands in Rusk, Evergreen, and Bashaw.
