1955 Map of Winchester

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Northern Highland State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape of the Northwoods, defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and marshland. The settlement of Winchester serves as a central hub, while the southern portion of the sheet is occupied by the Lac Du Flambeau Indian Reservation. This era of the 1950s shows the region's resource-based economy and early aviation infrastructure, noted by the presence of Cranberry Bogs and the Manitowish Waters Landing Field. Transportation history is visible through the Chicago and Northwestern rail line and various remnants of former logging paths labeled as Old Grade. Educational and industrial sites are scattered throughout, including the Birch Lake Sch and the Presque Isle Sch (Abandoned), alongside several Gravel Pits and the Shea Dam Spillway on the Turtle River.
