1961 Map of Ellison Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Brule River State Forest dominates this northern landscape, defined by the winding course of the Bois Brule River as it cuts through the Highland terrain. In the early 1960s, the village of Lake Nebagamon served as the primary settlement anchor, surrounded by a dense network of glacial water bodies including Minnesuing Lake, Big Lake, and Simms Lake. The map reveals a region transitioning from wilderness to recreation and conservation, evidenced by the presence of the Fish Hatchery, multiple fire towers like the Highland Lookout Tower, and small airstrips such as the Cedar Island Airport. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of the Barnes Cem and various named camps like Camp Bovey provides specific points of interest for family and community research within the Douglas and Bayfield county borderlands.
