1949 Map of Sheldon
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
Jump River and Main Creek dominate the drainage patterns of this northern Wisconsin landscape as it appeared in the late 1940s. The village of Sheldon serves as a central hub, while the northern edge is defined by the corridor of the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad, connecting the settlements of Tony, Glen Flora, and Ingram. The map provides a detailed view of the rural educational and religious infrastructure of Rusk and Taylor counties, featuring several district schools such as Progressive School, Baughman School, and Sunnyside School. Forestry and land management are signaled by the inclusion of the Lawrence Fire Tower and Jump River Fire Tower. The layout of the region, including the Mennonite Church and the Mt Nebo Cemetery, reflects a dispersed agricultural community built around the river valleys and rail lines.
