1964 Map of Cornucopia

About this map

Cornucopia sits at the northern edge of this mid-1960s survey, marking a small pocket of settlement where the Siskiwit River meets the waters of Siskiwit Bay on Lake Superior. The surrounding landscape of Bell and Bayfield townships is heavily forested, dominated by the northern reaches of the Chequamegon National Forest. The map documents a period when the local economy relied on the intersection of the Great Lakes shoreline and the timber-rich interior, with primitive transportation routes like the Jeep Trail cutting through the dense woods.
