1946 Map of Winchester

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

Glacial lake country and timberlands define this 1940s landscape along the Iron and Vilas county line. The settlement of Winchester serves as a local hub near the North Turtle Lake and South Turtle Lake chain, while further east, the community of Presque Isle is established near the Chicago and Northwestern rail line. This era captures the region's transition into a managed wilderness, marked by the presence of a CCC Camp and the Rest Lake Fire Tower, which stood watch over the dense woods and numerous water bodies like Presque Isle Lake and Birch Lake. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Winegar Church and Winegar Cem, providing specific points of interest for those tracing family history in the northern Wisconsin woods.
