About this map

Popple River and its numerous tributaries, including Hendricks Creek and Haymarsh Creek, define the drainage patterns of this northern Wisconsin landscape. The small settlement of Fern serves as the primary community hub, situated near the eastern edge of the quadrangle where Town Hall Rd meets Woods Creek Rd. The region is characterized by a high density of water bodies and marshy lowlands, notably Patten Lake and Price Lake in the northeast.

Evidence of local water management is seen at the Woods Creek 2WP656 Dam, located just downstream from Fern. The road network, including Grade Rd and Goodman Grade Rd, suggests a landscape shaped by historical logging or early transit routes through the dense woods and wetlands typical of Florence County. Smaller lakes such as Lund Lake and Mud Lake anchor the corners of this survey, surrounded by family-named forest roads like Martens Rd and Taylor Rd.
