About this map

The Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl winds through this glacial landscape, tracing the complex terminal moraines and kettle depressions that define Rusk County. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense network of interior lakes and flowages, including Bucks Lake, Audie Lake, and Perch Lake, which are characteristic of this water-rich timberland. The topography rises toward the southeast corner at Mt Atlanta, where the Blue Hills Lookout Tower stands as a strategic landmark overlooking the surrounding forests and the headwaters of Devils Cr and Johns Cr.

Transport through this territory remains focused on utility and recreation, with rural corridors like Dejung Rd and Co Hwy-F connecting the scattered water bodies. The presence of significant impoundments such as Murphy Flowage and Hill Trail Flowage alongside naturally occurring basins like Star Lake suggests a landscape managed for both drainage and recreation, providing a clear record of the region's hydrography at the start of the 2010s.
