It is amazing how many towns changed their names and how many more do not exist anymore. These names were gathered from a variety of sources including gazetteers, history books, plat maps and atlases. To make things more confusing, county borders kept changing to form new counties. Some of the sources used were printed before the borders were changed which would list a city in the wrong county. The spelling of town names seemed to change depending on the document and the new' postmaster. The railroad and federal post office did try to eliminate the repeated or similar names. The railroad, post office and village name were not always the same. Eventually these names combined under one name and where possible there was an attempt to list name changes. Post offices were located in hotels, general stores, or even the postmaster’s living room. A post office location may have been merely a few houses or a drop point for the railroad. They are listed because it was the only address a rural area would have. We would appreciate receiving any information to improve on what we have started. We are sorry for any errors or omissions and assume no responsibility for total accuracy. We were aware of wrong information and spellings in the sources wc used and have tried to indicate them or have found a solution to the problem. The dates used for the earliest births, marriages and deaths were taken from a list published by the State of Wisconsin Department of Health and Human Services. (In the 2015 edition wc also added in information in [ ] from the actual county courthouses if it was different.) Linton/Linnlon indicates different spellings of same name Oakland (Center) name has been shortened to the first word only (was Muskratville) was known previously by this name (now Norwood in Langlade Co.) after the county lines changed a city would sometimes be renamed it indicated city falls in more than one township ★ indicates county seat location on map What was once a thriving community may now he hut a memory landmarked by a lone house or foundation. iv Order of Formation of Wisconsin Counties County When Formed Land Taken From County Seat Brown October 26, 1818 Michigan Territory Green Bay Crawford October 26, 1818 Michigan Territory Prairie du Chien Iowa October 9, 1829 Crawford Dodgeville Milwaukee September 6, 1834 Brown Milwaukee Calumet December 7. 1836 Brown Chilton Dane December 7, 1836 Crawford.

  • Apostle Islands National Lakehore Geologic Resources Inventory

    Apostle Islands National Lakehore Geologic Resources Inventory

    Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Geologic Resources Division Prepared by Trista L. Thornberry-Ehrlich National Park Service August 7, 2010 US Department of the Interior The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) provides each of 270 identified natural area National Park System units with a geologic scoping meeting and summary (this document), a digital geologic map, and a geologic resources inventory report. The purpose of scoping is to identify geologic mapping coverage and needs, distinctive geologic processes and features, resource management issues, and monitoring and research needs. Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management, provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, and if possible include a site visit with local experts. The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on July 20-21, 2010 both out in the field on a boating site visit from Bayfield, Wisconsin, and at the headquarters building for the Great Lakes Network in Ashland, Wisconsin. Jim Chappell (Colorado State University [CSU]) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Bruce Heise (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the park. Dick Ojakangas from the University of Minnesota at Duluth and Laurel Woodruff from the U.S. Geological Survey presented brief geologic overviews of the park and surrounding area. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park and Geologic Resources Division; geologists from the University of Minnesota at Duluth, Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey, and U.S. Geological Survey; and cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 2).

    015&~ API S EARLY AGRICULTURE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE: AN OVERVIEW OF BEAR, IRONWOOD, MICHIGAN, OAK, OTTER, RASPBERRY, ROCKY, SOUTH TWIN AND STOCKTON ISLANDS AND THE MAINLAND UNIT (ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR BASSWOOD ISLAND ALSO INCLUDED) A Report Prepared for the Staff of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Bayfield, Wisconsin / by Arnold R. Alanen Professor Department of Landscape Architecture School of Natural Resources University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, Wisconsin 53706 June 1985 OBJECTIVES During the early 1980s this investigator participated with two other individuals in preparing a report on the early agricultural history of the Apostle Islands. 1 The report presented some background information on the overall agricultural development of the Apostles, but especially focused upon Basswood, Hermit, and Sand Islands. Several sources of information were used in preparing this first report. These included original Land Office and homestead records, census data, newspaper accounts, interviews, pictorial information, and field surveys. The report included on the following pages seeks to provide a more complete overview of early Apostle Islands agriculture by expanding the study to include islands other than Basswood, Hermit, and Sand (Figure 1). The additional islands considered in this report are Bear, Ironwood, Michigan, otter, Oak, Raspberry, South Twin, and Stockton. In addition, an effort has been made to provide some background information on an early farmstead (situated on Section 9, Township 51N, Range SW of Bayfield County) that once was built on what is now a part of the Apostle Islands mainland unit. Finally, additional information on two pre-emptors who made claims on Basswood Island was unearthed while doing this study; therefore, the subsequent account includes the new data.

Noble Midwest Archeological Center Technical Report No.8 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Archeological Center Lincoln, Nebraska 1993 Ie ------ -- -- - -- --_.- - ----------------------------- --- ----- ABSTRACT During June and July of 1988, archeologists from the Midwest Archeological Center performed limited testing at four historic lighthouse complexes within Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The lighthouses, which still protect shipping at the western end of Lake Superior, were scheduled for exterior restoration work. Specifically, immediate plans called for the installation of drainage systems about certain structures on Sand Island, Michigan Island, Outer Island, and Devils Island to mitigate continuing ground water damage to their foundations. Archeological investigations sought to assess the potential impacts to cultural resources in those areas of the light stations that would be disturbed by proposed developments. Shovel probes and controlled test excavations were used to examine the proposed drain alignments, as well as construction staging areas. No significant cultural resources were discovered during the five-week project that would warrant modification of the drainage systems or further archeological excavation prior to construction of these improvements.
