1978 Map of Coffee Creek

About this map

Lake Mohawksin and the convergence of the Somo River and Spirit River Flowage dominate this late 1970s topographical record of Lincoln County. The map details the industrial and transportation infrastructure surrounding Tomahawk, where the Marinette Tomahawk and Western railroad tracks navigate the complex shoreline near West Kraft and the Cranberry Bog. Further west, the landscape transitions into managed forests and rural landmarks such as the Wilson School and the Zenith Lookout Tower, which served as a critical fire watch point for the timber-rich Wilson and Tomahawk townships. Local transit is traced through named corridors like Zenith Tower Road and the Old Railroad Grade, reflecting the area's history of logging and rail development. From the Jersey City Flowage to the Tomahawk Regional Airport, the survey documents a region defined by its reliance on water power and wood products.
