About this map

The southern shoreline of Lake Superior dominates this 1940s landscape, where the sandy spit of Wisconsin Point shields Allouez Bay from the open water. Moving inland from the City of Superior, the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including the Amnicon River and Middle River. The map reveals a community structured around both resource extraction and social care, evidenced by the Middle River Sanitarium and numerous rural educational sites like Riverside Sch and the Carl Von Linne Sch.
