Big Bend House Stopping Place

D. A. Miles operated an early logging camp at the big bend of the Chippewa River. The camp consisted of barns that could accommodate 200 horses and sleeping shanties that could house 300 men. It is thought that this was near the point where the Mississippi River Logging Co. Railroad had its landing. Big Bend House, a stopping place on the Chippewa Tote Road, was located here.
