1944 Map of Drummond

About this map

The timberlands and glacial lake country of Bayfield County are defined here by the lumbering and conservation history surrounding Drummond. Surveyed just after the war, the landscape shows a transition from early industrial logging to recreational and managed forest use. Evidence of the region's logging past is visible in the network of forest roads and namesake settlements like Camp Two and Camp Nine, while the CCC Camp near Bass Lake reflects the Great Depression-era work programs that helped restore these woods. Isolated rural life is anchored by a series of one-room schoolhouses, including Hall Sch, Maple Grove Sch, and Pease Sch, spaced to serve the scattered families living within the National Forest boundaries. The northern portion of the map is dominated by a dense cluster of water bodies like Muskellunge Lake and Delta Lake, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the East Fork White River.
