About this map

Strickland and the surrounding timberlands of the Blue Hills define this landscape in the late 1970s. The region is characterized by its complex hydrology and glacial terrain, featuring the Doyle Hills and Wilkinson Hills rising above numerous water bodies like Perdziak Lake and Coudray Lake. The transportation network is anchored by the Soo Line, which connects the small settlements of Lehigh and Strickland, facilitating local industry and movement through the Barron and Rusk County borderlands.

Evidence of local resource use is found in the Cranberry Bog and several gravel pits scattered near the rail line. The drainage of the area is intricate, with Moose Ear Creek and Rock Creek carving through landmarks like Grundy Canyon. The presence of Wayside Park and Edgewood Rd suggests a landscape transitioning toward recreation and accessibility while maintaining its rural, forested character.
