1970 Map of Julia Lake

About this map

The glacial waters of the Northwoods dominate this 1970 snapshot, where the Nicolet National Forest meets a complex chain of lakes in Oneida and Forest counties. Significant water bodies like Big Stone Lake, Big Fork Lake, and Julia Lake are interconnected by waterways such as The Thoroughfare, a pattern indicative of the region's recreational development. The infrastructure of the early 1970s is visible in the presence of the Three Lakes Municipal Airport and a prominent Golf Course, while the historic Military Road cuts through the northern timberland. The landscape is dotted with public access points, including numerous Boat Ramps and a Campground on Medicine Lake, reflecting the transition of this former logging frontier into a premier destination for sportsmen and summer residents.
