About this map

American Legion State Forest covers the northern reaches of this Wisconsin lake district, where numerous glacial lakes like Bearskin Lake and Horsehead Lake dot the landscape. The mid-1960s terrain is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and marshlands such as Cranberry Bog, with transportation shaped by the crossing of the Chicago Milwaukee ST Paul And Pacific and the Chicago And North Western railroads. Small clusters of settlement are concentrated at Heafford Junction and Goodnow, the latter featuring the Pinewood Country Club and Goodnow Cem.

Local infrastructure is represented by the Cassian-Woodboro Sch Cem and various civic landmarks, including the Townhall and the Nekomis Sch. For those interested in regional utility and safety history, the map identifies a Pipeline corridor, a Gaging Sta, and high-elevation points like Porcupine Lookout Tower and Camp 10 Lookout Tower. Smaller aviation and recreation sites, such as the Drott Landing Field and Pickerel Lake Campground, reflect the mid-century development of this Northwoods recreation area.
