About this map

Herbster sits at the western edge of this coastal landscape, where the Bark River flows into the expansive Bark Bay of Lake Superior. The terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands of the river mouth to the higher elevations of the Chequamegon National Forest in the south. Two prominent peninsulas, Bark Point and Roman Point, define the shoreline, protecting smaller inlets like Siskiwit Bay.

Local family and community history is anchored by the Herbster Community Cem and the Vietmeier Airport, while a network of rural roads like Clover Cemetery Rd and Nicoletti Rd connects the scattered homesteads. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Siskiwit River drainage system, including Siskiwit Lake and its surrounding wetlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Bayfield Peninsula before it reaches the great lake.
