1971 Map of Clam Lake SE

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, revealing a dense network of waterways within the Shanagolden and Chippewa survey blocks. The area is defined by the winding paths of the Chippewa River and the Moose River, which are fed by numerous tributaries including East Torch River, Hummingbird Creek, and Fishtrap Creek. This 1971 survey shows a landscape almost entirely devoted to timber and conservation, with very few signs of human industrial activity beyond a lone Gravel Pit. The map captures the complex hydrology of the region, where seasonal creeks like Hull Creek and Run Creek carve through the woodland. It provides an essential look at the drainage patterns and untouched forest sections of Ashland County before later developments or changes in forest management.
