About this map

Cornucopia sits along the southern shore of Siskiwit Bay, serving as a focal point for this 1960s coastal survey of Lake Superior’s south shore. The landscape is defined by the outflow of the Siskiwit River and Squaw Creek into the harbor, where a local Light and Wayside Park mark the waterfront. Further inland, the terrain is characterized by dense woodland and several small bodies of water, including Siskiwit Lake, Little Siskiwit Lake, and Perch Lake.

A significant portion of the southern area is managed by the Washburn Ranger District within the Chequamegon National Forest. This map captures the rural infrastructure of the era, including the St Anthony Ch and Bell Cem, alongside numerous gravel pits that suggest local resource extraction. The presence of a Campground and designated park areas highlights the early development of this region as a destination for outdoor recreation in northern Wisconsin.
