About this map

Brule River State Forest and the Chequamegon National Forest dominate this 1980 survey of northern Wisconsin, illustrating a landscape defined by glacial lakes and timber management. The area is anchored by settlements such as Solon Springs and Hayward, connected by the route of the Chicago and North Western railroad. The map highlights the extensive hydrological network of the region, from the headwaters of the St Croix Flowage to the winding paths of the Totagatic River and Namekagon River.

Several specialized land uses are evident, including the Totagatic Lake State Wildlife Area and various municipal airstrips like the Eau Claire Lakes Airport. Smaller communities such as Minong, Drummond, and Wascott serve as local hubs within the dense woodland. This document preserves the late-20th-century configuration of recreational and industrial lands before further modern development, showing clear boundaries between Douglas, Bayfield, Washburn, and Sawyer counties.
