1970 Map of Dam Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

American Legion State Forest covers much of this Northwoods landscape, characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands in the town of Sugar Camp. The presence of a commercial Cranberry Bog south of North Nokomis Lake and a Gravel Pit near Dam Lake point to the local resource economies that defined the region in the early 1970s. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the expansive Rainbow Flowage and various dams that regulated the drainage through Sugar Camp Creek. Many water bodies carry family-related names such as Jenny Barnes Lake and Kate Pier Lake, offering valuable clues for genealogists researching early recreational and seasonal residents of Newbold. Numerous boat ramps along Muskellunge Lake and Sand Lake illustrate the transition toward a tourism-based economy during this era.
