1982 Map of Land O'Lakes

About this map

The northern borderland where Wisconsin and Michigan meet is defined here by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and the deep timber of the Ottawa National Forest and Nicolet National Forest. The settlement of Land O' Lakes serves as the focal point, situated at the junction of the Chicago and North Western railroad and the interstate boundary line. This 1982 survey reveals a landscape transitioned into a prominent recreational and transportation hub, featuring the Land O' Lakes Airport and various lakefront developments like Reimers Island on Duck Lake. Local heritage and community life are anchored by landmarks such as St John Ch, Hope Ch, and the Land O' Lakes Cemetery, while the presence of a Gravel Pit and Wilson Springs indicates the local industrial and natural resources utilized by residents during this era.
