1967 Map of Marengo SW

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in Bayfield County, where the dense timber is carved by the Marengo River and its numerous tributaries. Small-scale industrial activity is evident through the Quarry and scattered Gravel Pits, providing a glimpse into the local extraction economy of the late 1960s. Religious and community life centers around Trinity Ch and its adjacent Cem, located near the shores of Indian Lake. The map reveals a transition toward recreational land use as well, highlighted by the North Country Trail winding through the woods toward the Beaver Lake Campground. Topographic landmarks like St Peters Dome and Morgan Falls define the rugged elevation changes within the Glidden Ranger District. Water bodies such as Marengo Lake, Coffee Lake, and Spruce Lake are peppered across the township, often fed by creeks with colorful names like Whisky Creek and Blaser Creek.
