About this map

The northern tip of Wisconsin's Bayfield Peninsula meets the cold waters of Siskiwit Bay at the small community of Cornucopia. This lakeside settlement, oriented around a harbor with a designated Light, serves as the primary hub for the surrounding timberlands and coastal reaches. Inland, the landscape transitions from the shores of Lake Superior into the densely wooded tracts of the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest. Local history is rooted in the townships of Bell, Bayfield, and Bayview, where the rugged terrain is dotted with small lakes and stream systems.

Evidence of local industry and community life can be found in the scattered Gravel Pits and landmarks like St Anthony Ch. The hydrology of the area is defined by the winding Siskiwit and Sand River, while genealogists can locate the Bell Cem southwest of the main town site. High elevations within the Washburn Ranger District offer a perspective on the drainage basins feeding Siskiwit Lake and Little Siskiwit Lake.
