About this map

Logging industry infrastructure and remote lakeside settlements define this 1939 survey of northeastern Wisconsin. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad is the central artery of the landscape, supporting numerous timber-related outposts such as Dahls Siding, Lindels Spur, and Moore & Montambo Spur. These spurs and sidings highlight the industrial character of the Nicolet National Forest during the late Depression era, where the Long Lake CCC Camp was active in reforestation and conservation efforts.

Recreation and local community life appear at Kloks Resort on Stevens Lake and in scattered rural schools like Wild Rose Sch and North Sch. The topographic detail preserves the early road network through the timberlands, including the precursors to modern trunk highways. Cultural landmarks such as the Long Lake Fire Tower and the Long Lake Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this corner of Forest and Florence counties.
