About this map

Glacial lakes and meandering waterways dominate this landscape within the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest, where the settlement of Harshaw serves as a local hub. The map illustrates a complex hydrographic network, including the Tomahawk River and significant bodies of water like Bearskin Lake and Oneida Lake. The conversion of the Milwaukee Road corridor into the Bearskin State Park Trail highlights a period of transition from active logging-era rail transport to recreational use.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the placement of the Union Grove Cem and Union Grove Ch, along with the Cassian-Woodboro Sch. Further south, the presence of McKays Spur and the Pinewood Country Club point to the area's mixed history of timber industry infrastructure and seasonal tourism development. From the Cranberry Bog in the west to Little Muskie Lake in the east, the sheet provides a detailed view of Oneida County's Northwoods character in the early 1980s.
