USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Elcho serves as a central hub in this 1950 aerial-compiled survey of the Northwoods, where the Chicago and North Western rail line dictates the placement of settlements like Koepenick and Pratt Junction. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water and swamp, including the expansive Post Lake and the dense Bogus Swamp. This era of land management is evidenced by the presence of the Summit Lake Ranger Station and the Pence Lake Lookout Tower, reflecting a period focused on forest protection and natural resource oversight.
