1972 Map of Dunbar NE

About this map

The North Branch Pemebonwon River and its southern counterpart dominate this northern Wisconsin landscape, converging in a region defined by complex drainage patterns and numerous small glacial lakes. Surveyed in the early 1970s, the map reveals a rural transition where the townships of Aurora, Niagara, Dunbar, and Pembine meet. Transportation infrastructure is a central theme, with the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad cutting through the northeast corner and the Soo Line traversing the southern portion near the settlement of Cole. Local land use is marked by several Gravel Pits and an established network of rural roads such as East Cataline Road. Significant landmarks like the Dunbar Lookout Tower and named water bodies including No Bottom Lake and Belgian Lake provide key reference points for local history and geographic study.
