1955 Map of Winchester

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Northern Highland State Forest dominates this mid-century landscape of the Northwoods, defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and river systems. The settlement of Winchester sits near the upper Turtle River, while further south, Manitowish Waters serves as a central hub for the interconnected water bodies. A distinct cultural and jurisdictional boundary is formed by the Lac Du Flambeau Indian Reservation, which borders the southern marshes and the Chicago and North Western railroad line. Local infrastructure of the era is preserved through landmarks like the Manitowish Waters Landing Field and the Birch Lake Sch. The map also captures the agricultural and industrial nuances of the region, from a Cranberry Bog near Little Trout Lake to the Shea Dam Spillway 1610 on the western edge, providing a look at how water management and tourism-based settlements coexisted before modern expansion.
