1980 Map of Thunder Creek

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, revealing a dense network of hydrologic features and timber-management infrastructure. The eastern edge of the survey is defined by the winding Willow River and the broad expanse of Willow Lake, while numerous smaller drainages like Stony Creek, Thunder Creek, and Scott Creek permeate the wooded sections of Lynn and Hackett. Evidence of the region's logging and industrial history is visible in the prominent Old Railroad Grade cutting through the forest, which once served as a primary transportation artery through the timberlands. The small settlement of Dover stands as one of the few named community nodes in this largely uninhabited territory, which is further marked by several Gravel Pits and a grid of rural routes including Turcott Road and Ottobez Rd.
