1970 Map of Eagle River East

About this map

The Eagle River chain of lakes dominates this 1970 landscape, illustrating a premier Wisconsin vacation destination in its mid-century maturity. Numerous lakeside camps and recreation sites, including Camp Manito-wish, Camp Hiawatha, and Honey Rock Camp, are established among the complex waterways of Eagle Lake and Voyageur Lake. The topography reveals the intricate connection between the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor and the local economy, passing right through the heart of the settlement. North of the town center, the Nicolet National Forest provides a woodland backdrop to smaller water bodies like Deerskin Lake and Caspian Lake. On the southern edge of the chain, the Burnt Rollways Dam regulates the water levels that define the region's character, while local landmarks such as the Drive-in Theater and the town Cem ground the area's social history.
