1979 Map of Wood Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Glacial wetlands and timberlands define this landscape along the border of Taylor and Lincoln counties. The central focus is Wood Lake, surrounded by a complex network of marshes and smaller water bodies like Mud Lake and the Camp Eight Flowage. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Johnson Creek, New Wood Creek, and Shea Creek cutting through the terrain. A notable historical layer is visible in the various transportation remnants that traverse the townships of Rib Lake and Corning. The presence of an Old RR Gr and another Old Railroad Grade suggests a history of resource extraction, likely logging, which once dominated this part of northern Wisconsin. These former rail lines now sit among scattered gravel pits and rural routes like Wood Creek Avenue, reflecting a transition from industrial timber hauling to a more quiet, recreation-oriented landscape.
