About this map

The western edges of Ashland meet the southern shore of Lake Superior in this northern Wisconsin survey. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Whittlesey Creek, North Fish Creek, and South Fish Creek, which flow toward the bay near Wyman Point. Settlement is concentrated in the northeast at Ashland, where the Ashland Post Office serves the community, and at the rail-adjacent Ashland Junction.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the clustered cemeteries near the city, including B' Nai Israel Cemetery, Saint Agnes Cemetery, and Mount Hope Cemetery. The presence of the University of Wisconsin Experiment Station and the John F Kennedy Memorial Airport reflects the area's twentieth-century infrastructure development, while the network of rural roads like Ondoosagon Rd and Terwilliger Rd reveals the agricultural and residential patterns outside the main settlement of Barksdale.
