1971 Map of Hayward

About this map

Nelson Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate the northern landscape of this 1970s survey, showing recreation and conservation alongside the growing community of Hayward. The Chicago and North Western railroad corridor remains a primary artery, passing through Phipps and paralleling the Namekagon River. Local history is deeply embedded in the map's labels, from the Indian Cemetery and Indian School Lake to the active presence of state-managed resources like the State Fish Rearing Station and State Nursery.
