1973 Map of Bavaria

About this map

The Old RR Grade cuts a diagonal path through this corner of Langlade County, serving as a reminder of the region's logging and transport history. Settled areas like Bavaria and Ormsby anchor the landscape, which is defined by an extensive network of water and wetlands. In the northeast, a chain of glacial waters including Upper Wolf Lake, Lower Wolf Lake, and Partridge Lake provides a distinct contrast to the more linear drainage patterns of the Eau Claire River West Branch and Big Hay Meadow Creek to the west. Local genealogy is rooted in sites such as the Town Cem near Bavaria, while the land's utility is visible in the scattered infrastructure of Rangeline Road and the Gravel Pit near the northern boundary. The proximity of the Ormsby Pond near the southern border highlights the industrial and community focus around the settlement of Ormsby.
