1945 Map of Odanah
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The Bad River Indian Reservation Boundary defines much of this northern Wisconsin landscape as it appeared in the mid-1940s. The settlement of Odanah serves as a central hub where the Bad River and the Chicago and Northwestern railroad intersect. This survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the coastal lowlands, including the winding Kakagon River and the isolated waters of Honest John Lake. Further inland, the terrain transitions into the townships of Sanborn and Gurney, marked by secondary stops like Rufus and Birch. The map captures a detailed transportation network of the era, from the established Highway to the localized Birch Hill Trail, providing a clear record of the area's development before post-war changes. The narrow peninsula of Chequamegon Point and the nearby Marble Point anchor the shoreline along Lake Superior.
