About this map

Lake Nebagamon serves as the focal point of this northern Douglas County landscape, where the village and its namesake water body are surrounded by a network of early-century industry and community. The Northern Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain, connecting the settlements of Maple, Blueberry, and Bellwood. This rail corridor is mirrored by an Old Railroad Grade to the south, marking the evolution of transportation in the timber-rich region.

Social history is visible through the distribution of rural institutions such as the Finnish Ch and Lake Nebagamon Ch, along with the Corner Sch and Northwestern Sch. Numerous Gravel Pits dot the map near the Amnicon River and Blueberry Creek, indicating active resource extraction. The map also captures the Blueberry Cem and several smaller lakes, including Minnow Lake and Pine Lake, set within a patchwork of wooded areas and clearings.
