About this map

Drummond and the surrounding timberlands of Cheuquamegon define this mid-century survey of Bayfield County. The landscape is a dense network of glacial lakes and small rural institutions, including several country schools like Hall Sch and Maple Grove Sch. The presence of the Delta CCC Camp (Abandoned) near the White River and Lake Delta serves as a record of Depression-era land management and conservation efforts in the Wisconsin Northwoods.

Transport is oriented around the railroad at Drummond, which was a vital hub for the regional economy. The map also identifies specific community gathering points and survey markers such as the Old Chippewa Camp Ground and Rockstad Azimuth, reflecting a period when remote settlements like Delta were still deeply connected to the natural resource landscape. This documentation provides a clear look at the transition from early frontier settlement to mid-century forest management.
