About this map

Seeley sits along the Chicago and North Western rail line, serving as a focal point in this 1970s landscape of glacial lakes and managed timberlands. The Namekagon River and the St Croix National Scenic Riverway dominate the northwest, while the southeastern portion is defined by the massive Round Lake and the branching waters of the Tiger Cat Flowage.

Conservation and recreation are clearly established by the early 1970s, evidenced by the Uhrenholdt Memorial State Forest and the Callahan-Mud Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Genealogists may find interest in the Riverside Cemetery and Spider Lake Church, while the network of firelanes like Phipps Firelane and primitive roads like Murphy Camp Road illustrate the region's history of forest management and early lakeside development.
