About this map

Rice Lake sits at the heart of this Northwoods landscape, where the Red Cedar River flows through a complex network of wetlands and glacial lakes. The city itself is a hub of community life, featuring Washington Jr High Sch, Jefferson Sch, and several civic landmarks including the Library and City Hall. Near the shoreline, Indian Mound Park and the Fairground provide public spaces, while the Indianhead Speedway serves as a local recreation destination.

North of the main settlement, the rural character of Oak Grove is defined by the Brill River and smaller communities like Brill and Campia. Transportation patterns of the early 1980s are preserved here, showing the Chicago and North Western corridor and the conversion of rail paths into the Tuscobia Park Falls State Trail. The map also captures several local religious and memorial sites, such as Our Saviors Ch and Nora Cem, essential for genealogical research in Barron County.
