1971 Map of Springbrook
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Namekagon River winds through this 1970s landscape, serving as a central corridor for the Chicago and North Western railroad. The settlement of Springbrook serves as a local focal point, supported by nearby landmarks like St Lukes Cem and the Mackay Valley Ch to the south. The terrain is defined by a dense network of wetlands and water bodies, ranging from the large Gull Lake in the northwest to specialized features like the Cranberry Bog and Savage Springs. Significant conservation and land management are evident in the Bean Brook State Wildlife Management Area, which protects the winding course of Bean Brook. This survey provides a look at the intersection of wild north-woods hydrology and the established infrastructure of rural Washburn County, showing numerous gravel pits and public access boat ramps that point to a local economy tied to both extraction and outdoor recreation.
