1954 Map of Cloverland

About this map

The south shore of Lake Superior dominates this mid-century survey of Douglas County, where the terrain is defined by a series of parallel watercourses flowing north toward the great lake. Small rural communities like Cloverland and religious landmarks such as Maple Ch and Emmanuel Ch serve as the primary hubs for local residents in a landscape largely devoted to agriculture and forestry. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the region, specifically how Bardon Creek, Haukkala Creek, and Pearson Creek carve deep valleys through the land before reaching the shoreline. An early industrial footprint is visible in the form of a Pipe Line cutting horizontally across the southern townships, marking a shift toward energy infrastructure in this post-war period. The layout of section lines and township boundaries like Lakeside and Maple illustrates the systematic organization of Northern Wisconsin's timber and farming country.
