1956 Map of Phelps

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Phelps and Land O'Lakes anchor this survey of the lake-studded borderlands between Wisconsin and Michigan. The landscape is dominated by the vast waters of Lac Vieux Desert, which straddles the state line near the historic Katakikikon Indian Village. The region's mid-century character is defined by the intersection of the Ottawa National Forest and Nicolet National Forest, where dense woodlands are broken only by hundreds of named water bodies like North Twin Lake and Imp Lake. Settlement patterns follow the Chicago and North Western railroad, which snakes through the western portion of the map. Local landmarks like Military Hill, a Lookout Tower, and the Twin Lakes Ch provide essential points of orientation for researchers tracing the development of this timber and recreation country.
