1980 Map of Thunder Creek

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this landscape in the mid-1970s, with the Park Falls Ranger District covering the timbered terrain across the Price and Oneida county line. The map illustrates a northern Wisconsin wilderness transitioning from its industrial logging past to a managed forest. This transition is marked by the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and an Old Grade cutting through the western sections, remnants of the infrastructure once used to harvest the region's timber.
