1999 Map of Phelps

About this map

Phelps serves as the primary hub of activity in this lake-dotted landscape along the border of Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. At the turn of the 21st century, the region remains defined by its dense forest cover and expansive water systems, with the massive North Twin Lake and Long Lake dominating the central topography. The map illustrates a high concentration of recreational and conservation infrastructure, from the Public Boat Access points on Spectacle Lake to the protected boundaries of the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest and the Blackjack Springs Wilderness. Notable local landmarks like Military Hill and its Lookout overlook a network of smaller bodies of water such as Sugar Maple Lake and Afterglow Lake, connected by the winding Deerskin River. This survey captures a moment when the regional economy was firmly centered on both timber management and the seasonal tourism of the northern woods.
