1970 Map of Sugar Camp

About this map

Sugar Camp serves as the central settlement in this northern Wisconsin lake district, situated just south of the sprawling American Legion State Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways, including the large Sugar Camp Lake and the nearby Indian Lake, which features an Indian Lookout Tower on its northern shore. The geography is characterized by numerous kettle lakes like Arbutus Lake, Kathan Lake, and Columbus Lake, separated by wetlands and narrow ridges. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by several Gravel Pits and the Sugar Camp Ch, providing a clear view of the rural community structure in Oneida County during the early 1970s. The northern portion of the map transition into the protected forest lands, where smaller bodies of water like Baggs Lake and Denton Lake remain largely undeveloped.
