1938 Map of Minocqua
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The dense lake district of Vilas and Oneida Counties appears as a complex maze of interconnected waterways and summer retreats in this 1938 survey. The twin hubs of Woodruff and Minocqua anchor the central landscape, served by the Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroads. This era showcases the region's transition into a premier recreation destination, marked by the Minocqua Country Club, Plum Lake Golf Course, and the State Fish Hatchery. Away from the rail corridors, the land is dotted with specialized sites like the Muskellunge Fire Tower and the Lake Tomahawk Fire Tower, emphasizing the importance of forest management. Genealogists can locate rural institutions such as Hall Sch, Faulkner Sch, and Evergreen Cem tucked between the massive shores of Big Arbor Vitae Lake and Plum Lake.
