1964 Map of Mt. Ashwabay

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Mt Ashwabay rises above the timbered landscape of the Bayfield Peninsula, overlooking the cold waters where the Onion River and Little Sioux River meet Lake Superior. This mid-1960s survey, updated in the mid-1970s, captures a transitional era of land use in the towns of Russell, Bayfield, and Bayview. The interior is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Sand River and Racket Creek, which drain the upland through various Gravel Pit sites toward the coast. Significant topographical features like Sultz Swamp illustrate the varied drainage patterns of this northern Wisconsin terrain. The map is particularly useful for tracking the network of secondary roads and field lines that carve through the woods, providing a detailed record of the rural infrastructure before modern developments changed the character of these lakeside townships.
