About this map

The Peshtigo River carves through the southwestern corner of this Marinette County landscape, marked by natural features like Strong Falls and Taylor Rapids. Public land and recreation are central to the area's layout, anchored by the Goodman County Park and the prominent Goodman Lookout Tower situated to the north. The terrain is defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways, including the large Coleman Lake and the South Branch Pike River.

Logging and wilderness management history is evident through the presence of Camp 5 and the specialized infrastructure of the Goodman Parkway Road. To the east, the vast Phillips Marsh transitions the landscape toward Athelstone, while numerous smaller basins like Grandfather Lake and Mirror Lake dot the central forest. The map captures a specific moment in Wisconsin's northwoods conservation and land use, balancing industrial sites like a Gravel Pit with established campgrounds.
