1984 Map of Port Wing

About this map

Lake Superior dominates the northern horizon of this coastal survey, where the Flag River and Iron River meet the south shore of the bay. The settlement of Port Wing serves as the focal point, situated near the protected waters of Bibon Lake and the Flag River State Fishery Area. This 1980s landscape shows a community defined by its proximity to the water and a network of rural roads like Old Highway 13 and Townhall Road that connect outlying homesteads to the village core. Local institutions such as the South Shore High Sch and Greenwood Cem appear alongside coastal landmarks like Quarry Point and a lakeside Light. The map records a quiet era of northern Wisconsin life, where the interior remains largely wooded, punctuated only by a few Gravel Pit sites and small settlements like Orienta.
