1970 Map of Eagle River East

About this map

The Chicago and North Western corridor defines the western edge of this 1970 snapshot, where the city of Eagle River sits at the gateway to a massive chain of glacial water bodies. The intricate hydrology of the region is evident in the sprawling interconnected basins of Eagle Lake, Catfish Lake, and Cranberry Lake, reaching south toward the Vilas and Oneida county line. Local land use is a mix of conservation and recreation, with large tracts of the Nicolet National Forest bordering private developments like Camp Marimeta and Honey Rock Camp.
