Earliest rail connection to Fifield and Park Falls to gain river access to the MW area. 1874 |
Scope & Content |
Asher & Adams' 1874 map cropped to highlight northern Wisconsin. The map shows early railroad lines when the northern third of the state was just beginning to develop with railroads reaching the infant cities of Superior, Bayfield and Ashland. These railroads were used to gain river access to the Manitowish Waters and surrounding areas.
