1946 Map of Alvin

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this landscape in northern Forest and Vilas counties, illustrating a region defined by federal conservation and Depression-era infrastructure. The presence of multiple CCC Camps and several fire lookouts, including the Pine River Fire Tower and Jones Dam Fire Tower, speaks to the intensive forest management and public works projects of the late 1930s. The settlement of Alvin serves as the primary hub in a network of primitive roads and specialized trails, including a Lumber Road and various truck trails designed for timber extraction and fire suppression.
