1942 Map of Pike Lake

About this map

Pike Lake and Round Lake anchor a dense network of waterways and marshlands in northern Wisconsin as surveyed in the years preceding World War II. The landscape is defined by the transitions between the townships of Eisenstein, Fifield, Worcester, and Emer, where early 20th-century conservation and recreation efforts are evident. The presence of the Riley Creek CCC Camp reflects the era's public works legacy, while lookout points like the South Fork Fire Tower and Elk River Fire Tower stand as sentinels over the timberlands.
