2013 Map of Ashland West

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal Wisconsin region, where the urban grid of Ashland meets the agricultural and marshy lowlands of the Chequamegon Bay area. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the meandering Fish Creek, Whittlesey Creek, and the White River, which carve through the terrain south of the shoreline. Historically significant transit points like Ashland Junction and the small settlement of Barksdale mark the convergence of regional routes such as Us-2 and Wi-13. The southern portion of the map transitions into a more rural layout, characterized by family-named roads like Johnson Road and Heglund Road surrounding the John F Kennedy Memorial Airport. This map illustrates the balance between the industrial port city's reach and the persistent hydrological features that shape the Lake Superior south shore.
