Historic Map - Ashland, Lake Superior, WI - 1890
Description
Bird's-eye view map of Ashland, Wisconsin, drawn by C. J. Pauli, published by Marr & Richards Engraving Company in 1890, reprint. While it is known that at least eight different Native American tribes have lived along the Chequamegon Bay, it was the Ojibwe Tribe that welcomed the first Europeans who arrived. French fur traders arrived in 1659 and erected the first European built structure in Wisconsin. The first Jesuit missionary, Father Claude-Jean Allouez, arrived five years later and built a chapel. The area was claimed by four different nations (Spanish, French, English and American) before becoming part of America's original Northwest Territories, and was then made part of Indiana, Michigan and Illinois Territories before becoming Wisconsin Territory.
American settlers arrived in 1854, when Asaph Whittlesey and George Kilborn left Ohio to explore the head of Chequamegon Bay. Whittlesey built a cabin in Ashland and lived there with his wife, Lucy, and his daughter, Eugenia. The town quickly developed, with the Wisconsin Central Railroad connecting Ashland to Chicago in 1877.
This map captures the city of Ashland as it appeared just three years after incorporation as a city, and just one year after the Wisconsin Central Railroad Depot was constructed.
