1945 Map of Marengo
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The Duluth South Shore and Atlantic railway cuts across the northern landscape of Ashland County, serving as a primary corridor for the small communities of Sanborn, Marengo, and Minersville. This 1945 edition, based on field examinations from 1942, reveals a rural network of schoolhouses such as Maple Ridge Sch, Argo Sch, and Yderstad Sch that once anchored these townships. The northern half is defined by the White River and the edges of the Bad River Indian Reservation, while the southern portion transitions into the dense woods of the Chequamegon National Forest. The presence of the Marengo Fire Tower and Mineral Lake Fire Tower highlights the era's focus on forest management, while the Lake Superior Power Plant on the northern river indicates early industrial utility in the region.
