Description

A bird's eye view of the city of Ashland, Wis., county seat of Ashland County 1886. H. Welg, sk. Beck & Pauli, litho.

Bird's-eye view map of Ashland, Wisconsin, published by Norris, Wellge & Co. in 1886, reprint. This map captures Ashland just one year before it was officially incorporated as a city. 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.

The lower corners of the map feature small inset maps: one of The Apostle "Islands", Chequamegon Bay & Ashland and the other of Ashland's railway connection lines and distances.
