About this map

The Wausaukee River and the South Branch Pike River define the hydrography of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the settlements of Athelstane and Amberg serve as the primary human hubs. The region is densely pocketed with small glacial lakes, including Morgan Lake, June Lake, and Mathis Lake, many of which are connected by minor drainages like Heubler Cr and Coldwater Brook. This network of water and wetlands reflects the characteristic post-glacial terrain of Marinette County.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like the Athelstane Cemetery and a network of rural roads that often follow early property boundaries or logging routes, such as Quarry Rd, Sunny Farm Ln, and Bear Valley Ln. The map details a transition from the river valleys to the interior woodlands, marked by family-named landmarks such as Mathis Lake and Rector Lake, as well as the headwaters of the Upper Middle Inlet.
