1970 Map of Dam Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The American Legion State Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, revealing a complex glaciated terrain defined by an intricate network of waterways and wetlands. At the heart of the region, the Rainbow Flowage and the expansive waters of Dam Lake characterize the local hydrography, connected by seasonal flows like Sugar Camp Creek and Indian Creek. This 1970 survey captures the area during a period of established conservation and recreational use, as evidenced by several Boat Ramps and the preservation of large forest tracts. Smaller, specifically named water bodies such as Jenny Barnes Lake, Tom Doyle Lake, and Kate Pier Lake suggest the deep-rooted local history of family names tied to the shoreline. The inclusion of a Cranberry Bog south of North Nokomis Lake highlights the regional agricultural specialization in peat-rich lowlands, while a solitary Gravel Pit near Sand Lake points to the localized industry of the era.
