The Treasure of Namakagon Maps

Top map: Southern shore of Lake Superior. Early 1800s. Use with question 15.

Second: Wisconsin map for question 32.

The next map shows northern Wisconsin prior to the advance of the railroads. Note there is a mail route.  Below, another map shows the railroads that accessed northwest Wisconsin in the 1890s. The bottom map is a satellite view of Lake Namakagon showing the narrows that lead to the dam.

La Point Co later became Ashland County. Ashland County was divided into Bayfield and Ashland Counties. Sawyer County was once part of Chippewa County. Rusk County was later split off from Chippewa County, as may be noticed in the lower map.
