1964 Map of Ashland West

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Ashland serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the city's grid meets the southwestern shore of Chequamegon Bay. The landscape is a mix of educational institutions and early industrial infrastructure, featuring Northland College, the University of Wisconsin Experiment Station, and the DePadua High Sch. A dense network of transportation lines, including the Chicago and North Western and Northern Pacific railroads, converges at Ashland Junction, illustrating the area's importance as a regional transit hub. Outside the urban center, the land transitions to the agricultural and wooded townships of Barksdale and Eileen. Along the waterfront, Wyman Point and Maslowski Park provide public access to the bay, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding paths of Fish Creek and the White River. Notable local landmarks such as the John F Kennedy Memorial Airport and Mt Hope Cemetery provide valuable geographic markers for genealogists and local historians.
