1968 Map of Glidden

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Soo Line railroad forms a vital transport spine through the Wisconsin Northwoods in this late 1960s study, connecting the timber-rich landscape between Glidden and Cayuga. This region of Ashland and Iron counties is defined by its complex hydrologic network, where the headwaters of the Bad River flow north while the East Fork of the Chippewa River drains toward the south. The settlement of Shanagolden and the curiously named Popcorn Corners reflect the localized rural development typical of the era, supported by small-scale resource extraction evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the rail line.
