1950 Map of Wabeno
USGS Topo · Published 1950About this map
The timber-rich landscape of Nicolet National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, centered on the logging and sawmill hubs of Wabeno and Soperton. These adjacent settlements are positioned along the North Branch of the Rat River, supported by the Chicago and Northwestern rail line and a network of arterial roads. The era's transitioning land use is evident in the presence of an Abandoned CCC Camp and multiple Logging RR spurs that once reached deep into the woods to the east. Cultural markers of the community are well-documented, including the Indian Community Hall and several rural schoolhouses like Windfall Sch and Swan Sch. Further north, smaller settlements like Padus and Ham L sit near a constellation of glacial lakes, including Trump Lake and Eugene L, illustrating the region's character as both a working forest and a burgeoning recreational area.
