1971 Map of Sheldon NE

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

South Lawrence Church and its neighboring South Lawrence Cemetery serve as the community hub for this rural Rusk and Taylor County landscape. Recorded in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including the Jump River and Little Jump River, which converge in the southern portion of the sheet. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Gravel Pits reflects the area's history of transport and resource extraction. Evidence of civic and safety infrastructure is visible at the Townhall and the Lawrence Lookout Tower, while the winding courses of Main Creek and Crazy Horse Creek drain the surrounding timber and wetlands. This area represents a classic northern Wisconsin settlement pattern where small community landmarks persist amidst a landscape largely reclaimed by nature and industry.
