About this map

State Hwy 55 serves as the primary north-south artery through this portion of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, cutting a straight line through a landscape defined by its complex hydrology. The northern reach is dominated by the Pine River and its various tributaries, including Sawyer Cr and the quiet waters of Waite Lake. This area reflects a classic Wisconsin Northwoods character, where road networks like Pine River Rd and Long Lake Rd provide access to remote lakeside points and timber tracts.

Further south, the geography transitions into the drainage basin of the Popple River, featuring the distinctive N Br Popple River. Named water bodies such as Rat Lake and Rogers Lake sit amidst a network of forest service routes, including Forest Rd 2170 and MacArthur Pine Rd. The map illustrates a region dedicated to conservation and forestry, where the lack of dense residential development highlights the preservation of the river systems and the traditional logging corridors that once defined the county's economy.
