1964 Map of Odanah

About this map

The Bad River meanders through the wetlands and forests of northern Wisconsin in this mid-1960s study, reaching toward Lake Superior near the community of Odanah. The settlement is a focal point of activity, situated where the Chicago and North Western railroad crosses the river system. Local heritage is grounded in sites like the Odanah Ch and Odanah Cem, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the vast Hanson Swamp and numerous inland waters such as Alex Pond and Honest John Lake.
