1940 Map of Thunder Mtn.

About this map

The Peshtigo River winds through this 1940 landscape, serving as a central artery for a region defined by its timber heritage and early conservation efforts. This survey captures the transition of the northern Wisconsin woods into a managed recreational and industrial resource, evidenced by the presence of a Lumber Yard and the State Fish Hatchery. The elevation is punctuated by vital forestry infrastructure, including the Thunder Mountain Fire Tower and the Mc Caslin Fire Tower, which provided oversight of the Silver Cliff State Forest.
