1971 Map of Cable
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Namekagon River and St Croix River wind through the heart of the Chequamegon National Forest, defining the recreation-heavy landscape of northern Wisconsin in the early 1970s. The village of Cable serves as a central hub, flanked by historic burial grounds at St Anne Cem and Greenwood Cem. To the east, the rising slopes of Mount Telemark are marked by Sky Lifts, signaling the area's development as a winter sports destination. The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor remains a prominent feature, linking the small settlements of Radspur and Leonards. This survey provides a record of the region before significant modern expansion, highlighting many natural water bodies such as Pacwawong Lake and Lake Owen, alongside infrastructure like the Cable Union Airport and the Seeley Lookout Tower deep within the forest boundary.
