1955 Map of Starlake

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The northern border of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan meet within the Ottawa National Forest, a region defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and dense timberland. This 1955 survey captures the landscape as it transitioned from a wilderness resource into a recreational hub, centered on the settlement of Starlake and the eastern village of Conover. The Chicago and North Western railway lines cut through the terrain, historically serving the logging industry that shaped these counties. Large water bodies such as Cisco Lake and Thousand Island Lake dominate the northern section, while smaller features like the Fish Hatchery and multiple Ranger Sta locations indicate the active conservation efforts of the mid-century. Genealogists and historians can trace local infrastructure near Covenant Ch or locate family-named landmarks like Indian Point and Meadowwoods Point.
