1970 Map of Eagle River East

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Eagle River serves as the gateway to a sprawling network of interconnected glacial waterways in this 1970 survey of Vilas and Oneida counties. The landscape is defined by the massive reach of Eagle Lake, Catfish Lake, and Cranberry Lake, where the shoreline is dotted with summer destinations like Camp Hidden Hollow and Camp Marimeta. The Burnt Rollways Dam regulates the water levels for the region's prominent timber and recreational economy, while the Chicago and North Western railroad provides a critical land link through the lakeside settlements. Within the Nicolet National Forest, many smaller bodies of water such as Caspian Lake and Deerskin Lake remain largely undeveloped, punctuated only by gravel pits and isolated boat ramps. This era captures the transition of northern Wisconsin from a rugged timber frontier into a premier midwestern resort destination, evidenced by the proliferation of private camps and parks like Eagle Pines Park.
