ASHLAND

Ashland; Ashland and Bayfield Counties. June 5, 1951. Altitude 5,000 ft. This view to the north shows the city of Ashland with several iron ore docks which project into Chequamegon Bay. In the middle distance is the Bayfield Peninsula; in the far distance are the open waters of Lake Superior. Several of the Apostle Islands appear at upper right, under the wing strut.  Reddish clays in suspension muddy the waters of the bay.
