About this map

The Fence River and its various tributaries, including the East Branch Fence River, define the hydrology of this Northwoods landscape in Mansfield Township. A complex network of logging and access roads, such as Mead Logging Rd and Camp 1 Rd, threads through the terrain, indicating a landscape managed for timber and recreation. Numerous small water bodies are scattered throughout, with Hickman Lake and Dishaw Lake being prominent features.

The presence of naming conventions like Lake Thirty-Two suggests a history tied closely to the Public Land Survey System, while creeks such as Morrison Cr and Nolenchec Cr drain the extensive wetlands. Roads like Deerfoot Lodge Rd point to the area's use as a seasonal or residential retreat within the Iron County forests. The confluence of the Mitchigan River and Fence River in the eastern portion of the sheet provides a central point for understanding the local drainage patterns.
