1943 Map of Gardner Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Cathance Lake dominates the central landscape of this 1941 survey, its irregular shoreline defined by Birch Point and Fox Point. This interior section of Washington County is characterized by a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the expansive MaceIroy Heath and Berry Heath. Small, dispersed settlements like Marion, Jacksonville, and Halls Mills are linked by rural roads, while industrial and academic outposts such as Chase Mills and the MIT Camp on the shores of Gardner Lake suggest a landscape utilized for both local milling and field research. The topography is dotted with family-named schools like East Ridge Sch and West Ridge Sch, reflecting a era of localized education. On Cooper Hill, a firetower stands watch over the surrounding timberlands, while hydraulic infrastructure like Gilman Dam on Gilman Bk underscores the historical importance of water management in this river-rich region.
