About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the border of Vilas and Forest counties meets. The area is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, connected by watercourses like the Pine River and Brule Creek. A heavy emphasis on recreational infrastructure is evident through the numerous named paths, such as the Hidden Lakes Trl, Franklin Nature Trl, and the extensive Forest Co Snowmobile Trl that winds through the timberland.

Historical forest management and lookout points are represented by the Windsor Dam Divide Fire Tower on the eastern edge of the sheet. Large bodies of water like Kentuck Lake, Franklin Lake, and Butternut Lake are interspersed with smaller, specifically named features like Indian Camp Lake and Two Sisters Lakes, illustrating the dense distribution of freshwater resources that shaped the region's development.
