About this map

Nicolet National Forest encompasses this glacial landscape along the border of Vilas and Forest Counties, defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and cold-water streams. In 2015, the area remains a dense woodland where major water bodies like Kentuck Lake and Butternut Lake dominate the terrain. The hydrology is complex, with the North Branch Pine River and N Br Pine River threading through the forest alongside smaller tributaries like Kentuck Cr and Howell Cr.

Evidence of historical land management and recreation is found in the naming of remote landmarks such as Indian Camp Lake and the Hidden Lakes Trail. The drainage patterns are further marked by Brule Springs and Perry Spring, feeding into the larger river systems. This map shows a region shaped by its forestry and watershed history, with a grid of forest service roads like National Forest Road 2140 providing the primary access to these secluded timberlands and fishing waters.
