1949 Map of Rice Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1961About this map
Red Cedar Lake and Long Lake dominate this post-war Wisconsin landscape, where the interconnected waters of the Northwoods define the local geography. The settlement at Rice Lake anchor the southern portion of the sheet, supported by the Chicago and Northwestern rail line and the nearby Rice Lake Municipal Airport. This mid-century survey reveals a dense network of rural infrastructure, including numerous one-room schoolhouses like Pioneer Sch and Fadness Sch, alongside community focal points such as Immanuel Ch and the Cedar Lake Cemetery. Northward, the village of Birchwood sits near the junction of several counties, overlooking the sprawling waters of Birch Lake. The map details a transition from small-town commerce to a recreation and timber-rich terrain marked by many smaller water bodies, including Little Devils Lake and Floyd Lake.
