2015 Map of Rusk

About this map

The Red Cedar River flows into the expansive waters of Tainter Lake, shaping the northern landscape of this Dunn County region. In the central part of the quadrangle, the small settlement of Rusk sits at a crossroads, representing the rural residential patterns that persist outside the larger hub of Menomonie to the south. The terrain is marked by notable elevations such as Hanke Hill and significant wetland areas like Elk Mound Marsh, which dominate the eastern drainage toward Muddy Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a blend of aviation infrastructure at the Menomonie Municipal Airport-Score Field alongside historical local sites. Several burial grounds, including Potters Field Cem, Hill Grove Cem, and Cedar Falls Cem, are distributed across the township, providing essential markers for genealogical research and local history documentation in a landscape defined by its glacial hydrology.
