1956 Map of Mt. Whittlesey

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Mt Whittlesey dominates the topography of this mid-1950s survey of north-central Wisconsin, a landscape defined by industrial history and glaciated terrain. The remnants of local iron mining are visible at the Berkshire Mine Ruins, while the Soo Line railroad (marked as the Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie) cuts through the center of the sheet, serving the small settlement at Ballou. The area is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Lake Galilee, Caroline Lake, and Eureka Lake, alongside the winding course of the Bad River and the Tyler Forks. The presence of a Lookout Tower on the heights reflects the region's managed forest environment. The division between Morse and Anderson townships, along with the boundary between Ashland and Iron counties, provides a clear framework for researchers tracing 20th-century property and administrative lines in the Wisconsin Northwoods.
