1939 Map of Trout Lake

About this map

Boulder Junction and the small settlement of Winegar anchor this survey of the Northwoods at the end of the 1930s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and a glacial Moraine, with the Manitowish River winding through the center of the quadrangle. Civil Works Administration and New Deal era activity is evident through the presence of a CCC Camp and the State Forest Headquarters, reflecting the region's early transition into a managed recreation and timber resource. Large water bodies such as Big Crooked Lake, Crab Lake, and Trout Lake dominate the geography, connected by a nascent system of Trunk Highways. Fire suppression infrastructure, critical to this forested lake country, is represented by the State Line Fire Tower near the Michigan border and the Boulder Fire Tower further south near Nichols Lake.
