About this map

The Marengo River and Brunsweiler River converge in this northern Wisconsin landscape, carving through a region defined by its rural crossroads and agricultural roots. The settlement of Marengo serves as a central hub, anchored by the local Fairground and served by the Soo Line railroad. Further south, the community of Minersville and the tracks of the Soo Line near North York illustrate the industrial and transit corridors that shaped Ashland County.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local landmarks, including the Maple Grove Cem and several country churches such as St Pauls Ch, the Finnish Ch, and the Old Apostolic Ch. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the Bad River Indian Reservation, where creeks like Rock Creek and Elm Creek drain toward the Great Lakes basin. Numerous family-named roads, such as Tapani Road and Charlie Johnson Road, provide a detailed look at the 20th-century landownership patterns in the townships of White River and Marengo.
