1973 Map of Turntable Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Potato River and the Turntable Creek define this heavily forested landscape in northern Wisconsin during the early 1970s. The region is characterized by an intricate network of waterways and glacial lakes, including Island Lake, Ruby Lake, and Fifteen Lake. While formal settlements are absent, the map reveals the area's industrial past through remnants of the logging and rail era. Lengthy stretches of an Old Railroad Grade and an Old RR Grade wind through the townships of Knight, Pence, and Carey, tracing routes once vital for timber extraction. Small-scale resource activity is noted at a Gravel Pit in the north, while recreation is established at a Campground and Boat Ramp on the eastern shore of Island Lake. The confluence of the West Fork Montreal River and its smaller tributaries like Le Clair Creek highlights a landscape transitioning from active timber production to a seasonal recreational destination.
