1964 Map of Strengthford

About this map

The De Soto National Forest dominates this landscape in the mid-1960s, a period when the timberlands and creek bottoms of Jones and Wayne counties supported a mix of forest management and early energy extraction. The Thompson Creek Oil Field and scattered features like the Gravel Pit indicate the industrial footprint during this era. Social life in this rural corner centered on landmarks like Strengthford and local congregations at Tiger Creek Ch and Salem Ch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Thompson Creek and multiple branches of Tiger Creek, which dictated the early road patterns through the woods. The presence of the Wausau Lookout Tower highlights the ongoing efforts of the era to monitor and protect the surrounding pine stands.
