About this map

Brunsweiler River and the Iron River dominate this portion of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, illustrating the dense network of waterways that define the Ashland County backcountry. The landscape is characterized by its glacial hydrology, featuring scattered bodies of water such as Moquah Lake, Spider Lake, and the twin basins of W Twin Lake and E Twin Lake. At the center of these lakes sits the East Twin Lake Campground, a primary point of human activity in an otherwise road-sparse region.

A complex system of United States Forest Service routes, including Forest Rd 182 and Forest Rd 195, provides the only access through the thick wetlands. Notable for its curious nomenclature, Dingdong Cr flows south toward Dead Horse Slough, where the terrain gives way to the headwaters of the West Torch River and East Torch River. This 2013 survey serves as a precise guide to the remote forest infrastructure and the diverse tributaries that feed the regional river systems.
