1979 Map of Wood Lake

About this map

Glacial topography and timber history define this 1970s landscape on the border of Taylor and Lincoln Counties. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and drainage, including Wood Lake, Mud Lake, and the expansive Camp Eight Flowage. The map documents a rural transition where the logging infrastructure of the past is still visible in the form of several Old Railroad Grade segments and the Old RR GR stretching across the north. These remnants of the railroad era parallel modern township developments, such as the grids near Wood Creek Avenue.
