About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and an extensive network of recreational and historical trails. The map reveals the intricate water system of the Deerskin River and the interconnected Lower Ninemile Lake and Upper Ninemile Lake, alongside prominent bodies like Anvil Lake and Franklin Lake. This region at the junction of Vilas and Forest Counties is defined by its transition from high-density timber to protected wilderness areas.

Researchers will find a complex web of named tracks such as the historical Military Trl and the Hidden Lakes Trl, which weave between smaller features like Blackjack Springs and Whispering Lake. The road network, including Wisconsin 70 Trunk and various forest service routes, illustrates the modern access points into the woods while preserving the names of local landmarks like Ash Meadow and Pat Shay Lake.
