1964 Map of Ashland East

About this map

Ashland sits at the western edge of this 1964 topographic study, serving as a gateway between the waters of Chequamegon Bay and the wooded interior of the Bad River Indian Reservation. The city's mid-century footprint is characterized by institutional anchors like Northland College and the County Teachers College, alongside industrial infrastructure including the Chicago and North Western and Soo Line railroads. The map highlights a coastal community where civic life, represented by Hodgkins Park and several local schools, meets the natural drainage of Beartrap Creek and the Little White River.
