About this map

Glidden serves as the primary settlement on this northern Wisconsin map, situated where the East Fork Chippewa River begins its course through the southern half of the quadrangle. The town's grid is clearly defined by streets such as Broadway, N Mill RD, and E 2nd ST, with the Mount Hope Cem located just to the north. This area marks a significant hydrological divide, where waters flow toward both the Mississippi River system and Lake Superior.

Much of the landscape is contained within the Chequamegon National Forest, characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes and creeks. To the north, the headwaters of the Bad River and Minnie Cr flow through terrain marked by Forest Service roads like Camp K RD and Forest RD 4. The abundance of water bodies, including Summit Lake, Gordon Lake, and Meyer Lake, illustrates the post-glacial topography typical of Ashland and Iron counties.
