About this map

Odanah stands as the primary hub along the Chicago and North Western line in this mid-1960s survey of the Lake Superior coastline. The settlement is centered where the Kakagon River and Bad River converge before spilling into the complex wetland systems of the Kakagon Slough and Bad River Slough. This coastal geography is defined by the long, slender reach of Chequamegon Point, which separates the open waters of Lake Superior from Chequamegon Bay.

Further inland, the map transitions into the high ground of Birch Hill and the Pine Plats, marked by the Birch Ridge Lookout Tower. This interior landscape is dotted with numerous small water bodies such as Sugarbush Lake and Pictured Rock Lake. The presence of the Odanah Ch and Odanah Cem provides critical anchors for genealogical research within the Bad River Indian Res Bdy, while the industrial footprint of the era is noted at a Gravel Pit near the eastern boundary.
