About this map

The Soo Line railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this Rusk County landscape, anchoring the village of Tony and the community of Glen Flora in the north. This 1971 survey reveals a territory defined by an intricate network of waterways, where the Deer Tail Creek and the multiple branches of Main Creek—including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork—drain into the larger Jump River system.

Evidence of the local timber and agricultural economy is visible in the grid of rural roads like Townline Road and Progressive Road. Land use is punctuated by several Gravel Pits and the presence of the Rusk County Airport northwest of Tony. These features provide a clear view of the mid-century infrastructure supporting this part of northern Wisconsin, tracing the township lines of Dewey, True, and Lawrence.
