1964 Map of Chequamegon Point

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Chequamegon Point extends as a slender barrier into the waters of Lake Superior, sheltering the entrance to Chequamegon Bay in this 1964 field-checked survey. The map details a complex wetland landscape south of the point, where the Bad River and Kakagon River meander through a vast marshy estuary. This area, largely part of the Sanborn boundary, is defined by an intricate network of waterways including Bad River Slough, Kakagon Slough, and Sand Cut Slough. The absence of roads or established settlements on this sheet emphasizes the maritime and natural character of the shoreline during the mid-1960s. Genealogists and historians can trace the precise hydrology of these river mouths and the position of smaller tributaries like Beartrap Creek and Wood Creek as they appeared before decades of shoreline shifts.
