2018 Map of Thornapple

About this map

The Flambeau River and Chippewa River converge in this section of Rusk County, defining a landscape of complex waterways and wetlands. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Ladysmith sits along the Flambeau River, while the smaller community of Port Arthur is positioned further downstream where the river bends sharply. The terrain is marked by numerous glacial features, including Sunfish Lake, Long Lake, and Dump Lake, alongside smaller tributaries like Thornapple River and Deer Tail Cr. A network of rural roads, including Sisters Farm Rd and Bell School Rd, provides access to the surrounding forest and farm tracts. The map reveals the modern intersection of these ancient river systems with the developed infrastructure of the Rusk County seat, providing a clear view of the area's hydrology and contemporary land use.
