2013 Map of Florence SW

About this map

Fern sits as the primary settlement hub in this northern Wisconsin woodland, situated along the north-south axis of Town Hall Rd. The landscape is defined by its extensive drainage network, where the Popple River winds through the southern reaches, fed by numerous tributaries including Hendricks Cr and Lund Cr. In the northern section, Patten Lake and Price Lake serve as prominent anchors for local travel, connected by a web of timber-focused routes such as Norway Pine Ln and Patten Lake Rd. This map reflects the remote character of Florence County, where the road network, including Rock Creek Rd and Grade Rd, primarily follows the natural contours of the watersheds. The density of named creeks like Woods Cr and Haymarsh Cr highlights a terrain deeply interconnected by small waterways and wetlands, characteristic of the Northwoods before the heavy modern development seen in more southern regions.
