About this map

Glacial geology defines this portion of the Chequamegon National Forest, where a dense network of kettle lakes and wetlands dominates the landscape. The small settlement of Topside serves as a central point among the numerous water bodies, including the large Long Lake and the smaller Wanoka Lake. The mapping reveals a landscape shaped by both nature and industry, with named roads like Battleax Grade and Tripp Gravel Pit Rd hinting at the region's history of logging and resource extraction.

For genealogists and local historians, the northern section features the Valley View Cem near Bailey Lake. The intricate shoreline of lakes such as Hart Lake, Twin Bear Lake, and Lake Millicent indicates a region deeply tied to seasonal recreation and forest management. The presence of numerous township lines, such as t47n r8w, provides a clear framework for tracing historical property boundaries and land use across this lake-studded terrain.
