About this map

The northern lake country of Oneida and Lincoln Counties is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies and intersecting rail lines in this late-1930s field study. Significant acreage is dedicated to the American Legion State Forest, which encompasses northern waters like Bearskin Lake and Little Horsehead Lake. The landscape reflects a transition from timber extraction to a more settled rural character, with numerous small district schools such as Fernwood Sch and Lily Lake Sch serving scattered communities.

Transportation is dominated by three major railroads: the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, the Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific Railroad, and the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie Railway. These lines connect small trackside stops and loading points like McKays Spur and Heafford Junction. Notable landmarks of the era include the Porcupine Fire Tower and the Greenwood Cem near the southern border.
