1973 Map of Post Lake
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Post Lake sits at the heart of this Northwoods drainage system, where the Wolf River transitions through a series of expansive lakes and flowages. In the early 1970s, the landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the interconnected Upper Post Lake and Lower Post Lake, along with the wilder stretches of the Wolf River State Fishery Area. The mapping shows a region primarily shaped by water and timber, with residential development concentrated around the lake shores while the surrounding townships of Schoepke, Nashville, and Ainsworth remain heavily forested. Cultural markers like Knoke Spring and several gravel pits suggest the local natural resource economy of the era. The presence of smaller water bodies such as Miniwakan Lake, Aninnan Lake, and the Spider Creek Flowage illustrates the glacial character of the Langlade and Oneida County borderlands during this period of recreational growth.
