1949 Map of Minong
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Chicago St Paul Minneapolis and Omaha (North Western) railroad forms a vital corridor through this section of the Wisconsin northwoods, anchoring the primary settlements of Gordon, Wascott, and Minong. This planimetric study, based on 1945 aerial photography, reveals a landscape defined by an immense density of glacial lakes, from the large Bardon Lake and Crystal Lake to smaller basins like Snipe Lake and Loon Lake. The map details the local infrastructure of the late 1940s, including remote educational sites such as Hoover Sch, Whittier Sch, and Twin Lakes Sch. The St Croix River flows through the northwest, while the southern reach includes the small community of Lakeside. This survey provides a clear view of the rural township structure before mid-century development altered the northern Wisconsin lake country.
