1945 Map of Glidden
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Glidden serves as the primary hub on this mid-1940s landscape, situated where State Highway No 13 meets the Soo Line railroad. The map reveals a transitional economy in the Chequamegon National Forest, where the presence of multiple abandoned schools, such as the East Side Sch and Pine Curve Sch, suggests shifting population patterns in the wake of the lumber era. To the west, the rugged terrain is marked by the Moose Hill Fire Tower, overseeing a complex network of waterways including the Chippewa River and Bad River. Smaller settlements like Shanagolden, Peeksville, and Morse are anchored by local landmarks such as the Morse Cem and the Washington Sch. This survey, compiled from aerial photographs, preserves the specific locations of rural crossroads like Popcorn Cors and industrial relics like the Dells Spur rail siding.
