About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Superior dominates this mid-1960s survey, where the fishing village of Cornucopia serves as a primary hub for the South Shore region. The topography transitions from the dramatic points of the Apostle Islands, specifically Eagle Island and its surrounding Eagle Island Shoals, to the densely wooded interior of the Chequamegon National Forest. Settlement patterns are defined by the lake's influence, with Bark Point and Roman Point framing the deep waters of Bark Bay and Siskiwit Bay.

Family and community history is anchored in several interior landmarks, including the St Anthony Ch and the Bell Cem. The landscape is a network of small water bodies like Siskiwit Lake and Little Siskiwit Lake, which feed the many creeks and rivers draining into the Great Lake. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a designated Campground reflect a local economy balancing resource extraction with the emerging recreational value of the northern Wisconsin woods.
