Historic Map - Bayfield, WI - 1886
Description
Bird's-eye view map of Bayfield, Wisconsin, published by Norris, Wellge & Co. in 1886, 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 French fur traders who arrived in 1659.
Capturing the town as it appeared just three years after the arrival of the railroad in 1883, this map shows a town poised for growth, with expectations of a tourism industry as well as brownstone quarrying to add to the established fishing and lumber processing industries that were already in place. The County Seat of Bayfield County, an elaborate sandstone court house building was built in 1883 that is referenced on the map.
"Gateway to the Apostle Islands", a small map inset in the lower left corner features Bayfield and the Apostle Islands.
