2010 Map of Rusk

About this map

The Red Cedar River flows through this 2010 survey of Dunn County, feeding into the expansive Tainter Lake at the northern edge of the map. The landscape is defined by its transition from water to plateau, where Sherbourne Prairie and the community of Rusk sit atop the terrain above the river valley. Evidence of the area's local history is scattered across the township, including the Cedar Falls Cemetery near the river’s bend and the Potters Field Cemetery further south. The map illustrates a grid of numbered avenues and county highways, such as County Hwy-B and County Hwy-G, which connect the scattered homesteads and agricultural plots surrounding Hanke Hill. Small tributaries like Sinking Creek and Muddy Creek drain the surrounding fields, highlighting the rural character of this region during the first decade of the 2000s.
