About this map

The settlement of Odanah serves as the focal point for this survey, situated at the complex junction where the Bad River and White River converge before emptying into Lake Superior. In the mid-1960s, the community's local geography is anchored by the Odanah Ch and Odanah Cem, with the Chicago and North Western railroad providing a vital transport corridor across the northern marshlands.

Southward, the landscape transitions into a dense network of meandering waterways and wetlands, including Hudson Swamp and the Kakagon River. The map reveals a wilder interior punctuated by named ponds and lakes such as Pictured Rock Lake, Wolfs Pond, and Sugarbush Lake. The southern reaches of Sanborn and Gingles are defined by timbered terrain like Pine Flats and Birch Hill, where numerous small tributaries like Thornapple Creek and Sugarbush Creek feed into the primary river system.
