About this map

The Menominee Indian Reservation and Nicolet National Forest dominate this 1970s landscape, where the South Branch Oconto River and First South Branch Oconto River wind through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The map illustrates a region defined by its timber and water resources, featuring a Community Center near the banks of the Oconto and a Campground at the southern edge near the Wolf River.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as St Joseph Ch and the La Belle Lookout Tower, which provided a critical vantage point for forest management. The presence of a Gravel Pit and Sandpit suggests localized resource extraction, while the scattered lakes, including Fredenberg Lake, Big Injun Lake, and St Joseph Lake, indicate the area's long-standing importance for both conservation and seasonal recreation.
