About this map

The small settlement of Fern sits along the eastern edge of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the dense woodlands of the Nicolet National Forest in Florence County. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrography, where the Popple River meanders through the central and southern reaches, joined by numerous tributaries such as Patten Cr and Lund Cr. High-elevation lakes including Patten Lake, Price Lake, and Haley Lake are scattered across the northern sections, interconnected by a network of forest roads and local trails.

Industrial and agricultural history is subtly present through labels like Goodman Grade Rd, which hints at the region's logging heritage. The Farm Service Agency Interest of Wisconsin maintains a presence here, reflecting the ongoing management of these timberlands and wetlands. From the headwaters of Woods Cr to the quiet shores of Lund Lake, this survey documents a modern northern Wisconsin wilderness where state interests and natural water systems converge.
