1964 Map of Cornucopia

About this map

The settlement of Cornucopia anchors this 1964 survey of the South Shore, situated at the edge of Siskiwit Bay on Lake Superior. The landscape transitions from the coastal harbor near the Light and Wayside Park to the dense timber of the Chequamegon National Forest in the south. The area’s geography is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Siskiwit River and Lost Creek, and a cluster of inland waters such as Siskiwit Lake and Perch Lake. Local history is preserved in landmarks like Bell Cem and St Anthony Ch, while several Gravel Pits indicate the importance of the extractive industry to the local economy. The map also delineates the civil boundaries for the towns of Bell, Bayfield, and Bayview, providing a clear record of jurisdictional lines during the mid-1960s.
