About this map

Mount Atlanta and the surrounding woodlands of Rusk County dominate this 2010 topographic record, highlighting a landscape defined by complex water systems and managed forest access. The drainage of Hemlock Creek and its South Fork join with the waters of Devils Creek and Johns Creek, illustrating the glacial hydrology of the region. Infrastructure for water management is clearly marked by the Tainter 2WP1283 Dam near Bucks Lake and the Blue Hills G-129.9 Dam controlling the Hill Trail Flowage.

Access across this terrain is provided by a network of rural roads like Dejung Rd and Blue Hills Trail Rd, which connect remote recreation spots such as Audie Lake and Perch Lake. The presence of the Blue Hills Lookout Tower signifies the area's history of fire observation and forest management. This era's layout reflects a transition from early timber extraction to a focus on conservation and backcountry recreation.
