The Seat of Douglas County, Superior, Wisconsin, is framed by the Nemadji and Saint Louis Rivers across the bay from Duluth, which forms the so-called Twin Ports. The two cities shared harbor is one of the most important ports on the Great Lakes. This map was published before the Boom Period, which began in 1888, and shows the town on the brink of significant transformation and population growth. Between 1890 and 1920, the region was heavily settled by immigrants coming from Eastern and Western Europe, England, Scandinavia, and Germany. These communities founded numerous neighborhoods based on cultural lines, many of which remain to this day.
