1953 Map of Ashland
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Apostle Islands archipelago stands as the dominant geographic feature along the northern coast of Wisconsin in this mid-century portrait of the Lake Superior region. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey with revisions through the early 1960s, the map details a landscape where indigenous lands like the Red Cliff Indian Reservation and Bad River Indian Reservation meet the expansive timberlands of the Chequamegon National Forest. The industrial heart of the region is centered on the port cities of Ashland and Bayfield, and the iron mining hubs of Ironwood and Hurley at the Michigan border.
