I don't know if this is helpful, but I saw a sign of some sort that said
military trail on my way to Houghton from Abrams a few weeks ago. I don't
know where your land is located, but I traveled north on Hwy 141 for quite a
ways. I also don't know where I saw the sign. Sorry. Good luck in your
search!

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?
