About this map

The town of St Germain serves as the focal point for this landscape in the northern Wisconsin woods during the late 1960s. The map captures a region defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes, with Big St Germain Lake and the multi-lobed Little St Germain Lake dominating the central and southern portions. These water bodies are surrounded by the protected timberlands of the Northern Highland State Forest and the American Legion State Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the St Germain Cem near the town center and trace residential development along Birchwood Drive and Four Corner Lane. Evidence of the area's fire-prevention infrastructure is visible at the Pickerel Lookout Tower, while numerous boat ramps along Lost Lake and Found Lake reflect the established recreation and tourism economy of Vilas County at this time.
