About this map

Athelstan and the township of Silver Cliff are the primary hubs of activity in this 1970s survey of Marinette County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Lehman Lake, Horsehead Lake, and Lake Sixteen, all connected by winding waterways like the Wausaukee River and Meadow Brook. Traces of earlier industrial and forest management efforts are visible through the Old Railroad Grade and numerous specialized routes such as Camp 9 Road and Camp 10 Road.

The Girard Junction Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the high ground near the northern boundary, watching over the surrounding timberlands and marshes. Evidence of local industry appears at the Sandpit and Gravel Pit, while a dedicated Landing Strip near the southern edge reflects the area's utility for aviation. From the small cluster of buildings at Athelstan to the more dispersed Silver Cliff, this map documents a rural Wisconsin landscape deeply tied to its hydrology and forestry history.
