About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, characterized by a complex network of waterways and managed timberlands. The Pine River flows through the northern reaches, while the southern portion is defined by the Popple River and its tributary, the N Br Popple River. These river systems, along with scattered water bodies like Rat Lake, Waite Lake, and Rogers Lake, suggest a terrain primarily shaped by glacial activity and long-standing forestry practices. Transportation in this area is limited to a grid of forest service roads, such as Pine River Rd, Macarthur Pine Rd, and Forest Rd 2170, which facilitate access for land management and recreation. The absence of major settlements reflects the protected status of the national forest and the preservation of the native headwaters of the Lake Michigan drainage basin.
