Big St Germain Lake and the dense network of surrounding waters dominate this mid-century landscape straddling the Vilas Co Oneida Co line. Based on 1930s aerial photography, this map records a region characterized by remote settlements like Robbins and Wakefield before the post-war tourism boom fully reshaped the Northwoods. The local community infrastructure is clearly defined through a dense distribution of rural schools, including Bohemian Sch, Sunset Sch, and Found Lake Sch, reflecting the distributed nature of forest and lakeside homesteads during this era.
