1971 Map of Clam Lake SW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this landscape in the early 1970s, characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and northern Wisconsin river systems. The West Fork Chippewa River meanders through the northwest, joined by tributaries such as Red Ike Creek and Christy Creek. This area, split by the boundary of Sawyer and Ashland counties, reflects the deep wilderness character of the region before significant modern development. Numerous smaller water bodies like Partridge Crop Lake, Meadow Lake, and Ike Lake are scattered across the terrain, indicating a landscape defined by its hydrology and timber resources. The presence of the BPW Wayside and various gravel pits suggests the infrastructure of the era, supporting the logging and recreational activities central to this part of the Wisconsin Northwoods. The detailed mapping of the Moose River and Little Moose River provides a precise record of these waterways before subsequent environmental changes.
