About this map

Blackwell stands as the primary settlement within this northern forest landscape, situated near the confluence of the Rat River and Stoney Creek. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of water, where the Peshtigo River meanders southward, joined by tributaries like Catwillow Creek and Coldwater Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a region heavily utilized for outdoor recreation and timber access, with numerous United States Forest Service roads such as Peshtigo River Rd and Peshtigo Preserve Rd crisscrossing the woodland.

Local landmarks include a cluster of small glacial lakes in the southeast, featuring Bear Lake, Little Cub Lake, and Big Cub Lake, which support the Bear Lake Campground. To the west, Shabodock Lake and Langer Lake provide additional points of interest for those studying the hydrography of Forest County. The map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at this time, from the residential layout of Blackwell to the various forest service routes that define the area's modern connectivity.
