1947 Map of Ogema
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Minneapolis St Paul and Sault Ste Marie railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern of this Northwoods landscape, connecting the rural centers of Ogema, Westboro, and Chelsea. Established during a period of transition in the late 1940s, the map reveals a dense network of one-room schoolhouses such as Forest Hill Sch, Wildwood Sch, and Sunnyside Sch serving the scattered farmsteads and timber tracts. The western half of the quadrangle is dominated by the Chequamegon National Forest, where the Mondeaux Dam creates a significant water feature along the Mondeaux River. This area is characterized by heavy woods and marshlands, punctuated by the Rindt Fire Tower and family-named landmarks like Lindberg Lake and Ketcham Lake, reflecting the era's reliance on forestry and small-scale agriculture.
