About this map

Fifield and Worcester townships center this mid-1980s landscape, where the Flambeau River and its south fork dominate the drainage of Price County. The area is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring numerous glacial basins like Priest Lake, Davis Lake, and Leonards Lakes. Cultural presence is concentrated around the community of Fifield, near where the river transitions through several named white-water reaches including Simons Rapids and Priest Lake Rapids.

A notable landmark is the Holy Cross King of Martyrs Priory, situated east of the South Fork Flambeau River. The landscape also reflects local industrial and recreational land use, documented through several Gravel Pits and public access points like Wayside Park. The intersection of natural water bodies and man-made infrastructure, such as the Sailor Creek Flowage and the north-south Fourth Principal Meridian, provides a detailed look at the rural northern Wisconsin economy and geography at the end of the twentieth century.
