About this map

The northern Wisconsin wilderness within Nicolet National Forest is defined here by a complex system of waterways and timberlands during the mid-1960s. The Peshtigo River snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Raymond Creek and Otter Creek, while the Popple River and Little Popple River drain the northern reaches. This landscape shows a distinct pattern of land use where forestry and conservation boundaries meet limited industrial and transit corridors.

Concentrated human activity is found primarily along the Soo Line railroad, which provides the primary East-West transit artery through the town of Argonne and the nearby settlement of Middle. A local Gravel Pit near these tracks suggests the ongoing maintenance of this rail network or the adjacent roads during this era. The map clearly delineates township boundaries including Ross, Argonne, Caswell, and Lincoln, offering a detailed view of the civil divisions within Forest County.
