1981 Map of Presque Isle

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Michigan-Wisconsin borderlands of Vilas County are defined here by a dense labyrinth of glacial lakes and protected woodlands. The small community of Presque Isle sits at the northern edge, where the Presque Isle River begins its course amidst a cluster of waters including Little Horsehead Lake and Oxbow Lake. Much of the southern landscape is contained within the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest, reflecting a region dedicated to conservation and recreation by the early 1980s. Notable recreational landmarks like the Dairymens Country Club and the Boulder Junction Airport suggest the area's established role as a seasonal retreat. The map documents an intricate shoreline system, particularly around the sprawling reaches of Crab Lake and North Crab Lake, interspersed with isolated features like a Lookout Tower and a Gravel Pit that mark the intersection of natural resource management and local infrastructure.
