1961 Map of Ellison Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Brule River State Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s, preserving a complex network of glacial lakes and spring-fed waterways. The Bois Brule River snakes through the center of the sheet, famous for its historic trout waters and the elite retreats like Cedar Island Estate and Stones Bridge. This area, situated along the boundary of Douglas Co and Bayfield Co, shows a transition from the village life at Lake Nebagamon Village Bdy to the high, forested ridges of Highland. Significant landmarks for local history include the Highland Lookout Tower, Camp Bovey, and the Barnes Cem. The presence of several remote landing strips, such as the Valley Farm Lodge Airport, underscores the region's mid-century role as a destination for seasonal aviation and sporting tourism.
