1939 Map of Lac Du Flambeau

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

The Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation dominates this 1930s landscape, illustrating a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands at the intersection of Vilas and Oneida counties. This preliminary survey captures a transition period for the region, where the Chicago and Northwestern railroad served as a primary artery for small settlements like Marlands and Hasener. The map highlights the localized infrastructure of the era, including the Marlands Sch and a strategic Fire Tower positioned to monitor the surrounding timberlands within the Chequamegon National Forest and Northern Highland State Forest. Local hydrology is intricately detailed, showing prominent water bodies such as Buckskin Lake, Squaw Lake, and the sprawling Mishonagon Swamp, which define the northern Wisconsin terrain before mid-century development further altered the landscape.
