I know there was a military supply road that went from Green Bay to Fort
Wilkins on the Keweenaw Peninsula during the Civil War. I think the road
followed what is today Hwy 41.

Subject: Military trail
Hi
Does anyone have knowledge about the Military Trail during the Civil War
that went from Green Bay to Superior? The route was purported to bypass
more lakes than another route.The trail was made for Cavalry use to protect
the settlers from Indians.. Then there were no hostile Indians. A local
person related that he had read about it and it goes thru my property in
Price County. The ruts are still visible in places on nearby land. Anyone
have access to history books on this subject or location of the trail from
Price county to Superior?
