1964 Map of Moquah

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this map, transitioning south into a landscape defined by small agricultural settlements and timber transport lines during the mid-1960s. The village of Moquah serves as a central hub, situated along the Northern Pacific railroad line, while further south, the community of Benoit marks a junction point near the Chicago and North Western tracks. This region in Bayfield County is heavily intersected by the many branches of the Fish Creek watershed, including North Fork Fish Creek and South Fork Fish Creek. Local infrastructure for rural life is well-documented, from the St Peters Ch and an adjacent Cem to the local Townhall. Numerous Gravel Pit and Sandpit labels across the townships of Pilsen and Keystone suggest an economy rooted in local material extraction and road building during this era.
