2022 Map of Rusk

About this map

Tainter Lake and the Red Cedar River define the northern hydrology of this Dunn County landscape, where rural agricultural lands meet the expanding outskirts of Menomonie. The topography is marked by notable elevations like Hanke Hill and low-lying wetlands such as the Elk Mound Marsh and Muddy Cr. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in burial sites, documenting the Hill Grove Cem, Tainter Church Cem, and the Beyer Settlement Cem. The transition from rural to municipal use is evident near the Menomonie Municipal Airport-Score Field, while the small settlement of Rusk remains a central waypoint. A network of county roads, including Co Rd D and Co Rd E, connects these scattered cemeteries and homesteads across the townships.
