2018 Map of Argonne

About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this section of Forest County, where the headwaters of the Peshtigo River system emerge from glacial wetlands. The landscape is defined by its water, from the broad expanse of Pine Lake and the Hiles Millpond in the west to the winding course of the W Br Peshtigo River and Middle Br Peshtigo River. This 2018 survey captures the interface of dense forest management and small northern settlements, primarily centered around Hiles and Argonne. Local history is anchored by several burial sites, including Hiles Cem and Saint Marys Cem, and infrastructure for forest protection such as the Windsor Dam Divide Fire Tower. Transportation relies on a network of Forest Service roads and recreational routes, including the Snowmobile Trail-Lkln Forest, which thread through areas like Island Swamp and the Coyote Cr Impoundment.
