Wascott History: In 1847 The Chippewa signed a treaty giving up all rights to what is now Douglas County. In 1852, The government survey of townships in the county was completed and Superior was selected as the county seat. The town of Wascott came into being around the year 1910. It was named after W. A. (Bill) Scott. Between 1906 and 1908 the Soo Line Railroad came through Wascott, connecting Chicago and Lake Superior. The railroad is long gone, but the beautiful lakes are not. (The old railroad bed is now the Wild River Trail bringing snowmobilers and ATVs into our area.)
Many of our lakes are large and are surrounded by homes and businesses on private property. Many dozens, however, are 40 acres or less and are located on private or public Douglas County Forest Cropland (FCL).
This small series of caches highlight 4 of the smaller lakes/ponds in West Wascott and are located on Douglas County FCL. Enjoy your visit to this beautiful area.
