About this map

The Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the settlement of Fern sits along Town Hall Rd. The terrain is defined by a dense network of timber-access routes and water features, including the Popple River and several significant lakes such as Patten Lake, Price Lake, and Haley Lake. Traces of the region's logging and conservation history are evident in the naming of roads like Goodman Grade Rd and Grade Rd, which often follow the paths of former narrow-gauge railway beds used for extraction. The presence of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Wisconsin land reflects ongoing federal management within the forest boundaries. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the landscape transitions toward the drainage of Lund Cr and Lund Lake, connected by locally named corridors like Morgan Lake Rd.
