1971 Map of Upper Eau Claire Lake

About this map

Upper Eau Claire Lake anchors a complex chain of glacial water bodies within the Chequamegon National Forest. This 1970s landscape is defined by its recreation-oriented geography, featuring the Eau Claire Lakes Airport and numerous boat access points on Birch Lake and Robinson Lake. The eastern half of the map is dominated by the Washburn Ranger District, where a network of forest trails and roads like James Road and Sweet Lake Road crisscross the terrain. Deep within the timber, natural artesian features such as Shunenberg Springs, Hyatt Spring, and Bearsdale Springs feed into the Shunenberg Creek system. The hydrology of the region is further detailed by the Ounce River and Mulligan Creek, alongside smaller backcountry waters like Tars Pond and Mountain Lake.
