1964 Map of Ashland East

About this map

Ashland sits at the edge of Chequamegon Bay in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by its educational institutions and maritime industrial connections. The map highlights the academic footprint of Northland College and the County Teachers College, alongside several local schools such as Bay City Sch and Lake Shore Sch. The presence of the Soo Line and Chicago and North Western railroads indicates a busy regional transit network, while the southern reaches show the winding path of the White River through the township of Gingles. The inclusion of a Drive-in Theater and Trailer Park near the waterfront reflects the era's mid-century automotive culture and seasonal recreation patterns common to Lake Superior's south shore.
