About this map

Minocqua and its neighboring lakefront settlements are depicted here in the mid-1960s, a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and northern forests. This survey showcases the dense concentration of recreation and early tourism infrastructure, including the Lakeland Municipal Airport, several campgrounds like Indian Mound Campground, and even a Drive-in Theater. The map captures a moment of transition for regional transportation, showing the Chicago And North Western and Milwaukee Road railroads alongside the developing highway system of U. S. 51 and Wis. 70.
