1973 Map of Elcho
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Elcho serves as the central hub of this Northwoods landscape, where the Chicago and North Western railway runs parallel to Otter Lake. The map reveals a post-war recreational and timber environment, marked by numerous glacial water bodies including the expansive Pelican Lake and Enterprise Lake. Evidence of the region's logging heritage is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade alignments that cut through the townships of Enterprise and Schoepke. Local history is anchored by St Johns Ch and the Enterprise Cem in the northwest, while small clusters like Pratt Junction and Pedro denote former rail sidings or crossroads. From the Ranger Sta near Summit Lake to the secluded Airhole Lake, the map documents a transition between early industrial transport and mid-century lakeside settlement.
