1944 Map of Couderay

About this map

The Lac Court Oreilles Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape, defined by a massive complex of glacial lakes and northern forests. Major water bodies like Grindstone Lake, Court Oreilles Lake, and Whitefish Lake are central to the region's character, supporting early lakeside developments such as The Northwoods Beach. The map details the local infrastructure of the 1940s, including small rural education centers like Kinnamon Sch and Boylan Sch, alongside religious landmarks like Sacred Heart Ch and Whitefish Ch.
