Description

Birds eye view of Washburn, Wis. Bayfield County 1886. Beck & Pauli, litho.

This bird's eye view map of Washburn, Wisconsin was published by Norris, Wellge & Co. in 1886, reprint. Washburn lies in Bayfield County on the shore of Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay. It was founded as a lumber town in 1879 and named after Cadwallader Washburn, a former Civil War general and Wisconsin governor. In 1886, Washburn was producing wood products such as lath, shingles, excelsior and boxes. The Northern Pine Land Company operated a mill at the foot of 8th Avenue West. The Rood & Maxwell Company ran a mill at the foot of 10th Avenue West. The newest mill opened the same year that this map was published, in 1886, at the foot of 6th Avenue West and was operated by Anson Bigelow. Several brownstone quarries were discovered between Washburn and Bayfield. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, much of the stone was quarried and shipped to the devastated city for rebuilding.

The map from 1886 features an inset illustration of Washburn, Chequamagon and the Apostle Islands. It contains clearly labeled streets, buildings, railway routes and shipping traffic.
