2011 Map of Argonne

About this map

The Wolf River begins its journey south of Hiles, flowing from the Headwaters of Wolf River Point of Interest through a landscape defined by significant water management and early industry. The timber history of the region is anchored by the Forster Muller- Lumber Company 1891C238 Dam near Hiles Mill Pond 17, reflecting the infrastructure required for the Northwoods' historic logging operations. Further east, the settlement of Argonne sits near the crossing of several tributaries, including the West Branch Peshtigo River and the Middle Branch Peshtigo River. This 2011 survey documents a mix of conservation and community life, from the Coyote Creek Impoundment and Pine Lake Campground to local burial grounds like Saint Marys Cemetery and the Hiles Cemetery. Notable landmarks such as the Hiles Lookout Tower provide a glimpse into the forest management practices of Forest County.
