1964 Map of Bark Bay

About this map

Bark Point and Roman Point define the northern shoreline of this mid-1960s study, reaching into the cold waters of Lake Superior on the Bayfield Peninsula. The landscape transition from the open waters of Bark Bay and Siskiwit Bay into the dense interior of the Chequamegon National Forest reveals a network of drainage systems, including Lost Creek No 3 and the Bark River. Local history is anchored by the Herbster Cem, while the industrial footprint of the era is marked by scattered Gravel Pits and the forest boundary dividing the townships of Clover and Bell. In the southern reaches, the East Fork Cranberry River and Siskiwit Lake stand as prominent natural landmarks within a heavily forested and marshy terrain.
