1964 Map of Long Island

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Washburn sits along the western shoreline of Chequamegon Bay, serving as a focal point for this mid-1960s maritime landscape. The geography is defined by the sweeping arc of Long Island and its extension at Chequamegon Point, which separates the bay from the South Channel of Lake Superior. Navigational aids like the La Pointe Light and Chequamegon Point Light mark this hazardous coastal reach, while the interior of Long Island falls within the jurisdiction of Sanborn Twp. On the mainland, industrial activity is noted via Quarries and the tracks of the Chicago and North Western railroad that parallel the coast. The map provides depth soundings across the bay, illustrating the underwater topography near landmarks like Houghton Point and the marshy inlet at Wood Cr Slough near Oak Point. This survey captures the region's character as a junction of rail transport and Lake Superior shipping routes.
