About this map

Ashland and the surrounding coastal landscape of Chequamegon Bay are defined by the convergence of major waterways and protected wetlands. The western edge of the city features the Ashland County Courthouse and serves as a transition to the preserved lands of the Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge. This conservation area protects the mouth of Whittlesey Cr as it enters Lake Superior, highlighting the region's environmental focus.

Further inland, the map documents the infrastructure of Ashland Junction and the Tri Co Corridor, which trace historical transportation patterns through the rural townships. Genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of Saint Agnes Cem, Mount Hope Cem, and B'Nai Israel Cem. The terrain is marked by a dense network of drainages including North Fish Creek and South Fish Creek, which illustrate the complex hydrology feeding the bay.
