1945 Map of Three Lakes

About this map

Three Lakes and Eagle River anchor this topographic study of the Wisconsin lake country during the mid-1940s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, spanning from the Northern Highland State Forest in the north down toward the southern timberlands. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad line cuts a definitive path through the region, connecting the primary settlements and providing essential transit for the local timber and burgeoning recreation economies.
