About this map

Soo Line tracks and the Old Railroad Grade bisect this Northwoods landscape, documenting the transit infrastructure of Ashland and Bayfield counties in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Sanborn anchors the northwest, while the Marengo townsite serves as a hub near the County Fairground. Cultural heritage is evidenced by several rural congregations, including the Finnish Ch and St Pauls Ch, alongside community landmarks like the Marengo Valley Sch.

The southern half of the map is dominated by the Chequamegon National Forest, where topography rises toward St Peters Dome and drops into the Hell Hole. Water is central to the area's character, from the White River Flowage and its associated Powerplant to the recreational waters of English Lake and Mineral Lake. The transition from the Bad River Indian Reservation to the national forest lands highlights the varied land management history of northern Wisconsin.
