1971 Map of Diamond Lake

About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest encompasses this glacial landscape in northern Wisconsin, defined by an intricate network of deep blue water bodies and dense woodland. Central to the map is the expansive Owen Lake, which is bordered by the Two Lakes Campground and connected to a variety of recreation spots including a Picnic Area and Boat Ramp. The terrain is marked by the historical path of the Chicago and North Western railroad, which snakes through the western portion of the forest, bypassing numerous smaller basins like Roger Lake and Crane Lake. The southern extent features Lake Tahkodah and Diamond Lake, while the north is dotted with smaller, isolated waters such as Tank Lake and Johnson Springs. This mapping period captures the area's established character as a destination for outdoor recreation, evidenced by the presence of a Golf Course and numerous established drives.
