About this map

The Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the headwaters of the Popple River and Pine River carve through a network of wetlands and glacial lakes. This 2018 survey reveals a modern wilderness structured by Forest Service infrastructure and legacy timber roads such as Sheltered Valley Pine River Rd and McArthur Pine Rd. The topography is defined by scattered water bodies, including the centrally located Rat Lake and the marshy expanses of Rogers Lake and Waite Lake. This map documents a region largely devoid of permanent settlements, focused instead on the preservation and management of its waterways and timber stands. The presence of numerous numbered Forest Development Roads, like fdr618414 and fdr718210, illustrates the modern utility of this managed forest for recreation and conservation efforts.
