About this map

The Peshtigo River winds through the southwestern corner of this Marinette County landscape, punctuated by the dramatic Taylor Rapids and Strong Falls. This area, situated within the townships of Silver Cliff and Goodman, is defined by a dense network of water bodies and marshy lowlands. Recreational landmarks such as Goodman County Park and its associated Campground suggest the importance of the river corridor for local tourism and outdoor life during the early 1970s.

Further north, the Goodman Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the timberlands, connected by the arterial Parkway Road. The hydrography of the region is notably complex, featuring the prominent Coleman Lake and South Branch Pike River. Smaller glacial features like Mirror Lake, Grandfather Lake, and the sprawling Phillips Marsh illustrate the post-glacial topography typical of northeastern Wisconsin.
