2013 Map of Thornapple

About this map

The Flambeau River defines the geography of this Rusk County landscape, winding past the settlements of Port Arthur and Thornapple. This 2013 survey records a region where water and timber legacies persist, anchored by the confluence of the Thornapple River and the Flambeau. The topography is marked by glacial remnants including Sunfish Lake, Long Lake, and Saxton Lake, alongside a dense network of tributaries like S Br Twin Cr and Deer Tail Cr. Human infrastructure is represented by the arterial Us-8 highway and several local corridors such as Old 14 Rd and Port Arthur Rd. A notable landmark, the Ladysmith Lookout Tower, stands near the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a reminder of the area's forest management history and the surrounding timberland's susceptibility to fire.
