1943 Map of Namekagon Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Namekagon Lake and its intricate network of surrounding waters define this 1943 study of the Northwoods. The landscape is characterized by its glacial lakes and a developing system of forest roads and trails, such as T Tr 90 L and T Tr 84 L, weaving through the National Forest. Scattered social landmarks like the Spider Lake Sch, West Fork Sch, and the Lost Land Lake Club suggest a seasonal and local population centered on the region's natural resources. Water management and conservation are evident through features like the Tiger Cat Dam, West Fork Dam, and the Sawyer CCC Camp. From the heights of the West Fork Fire Tower to the remote shores of Ghost Lake, the map documents a transitional era of forestry and recreation in Sawyer and Bayfield Counties.
