About this map

The Peshtigo River carves a dramatic path through this section of the Marinette County Forest, transformed by a series of hydroelectric developments. This 2010 survey details the expansive High Falls Reservoir and Caldron Falls Reservoir, where the river's natural flow is managed by structures such as the High Falls Dam and the Caldron Falls Dam. These man-made water bodies dominate the landscape, while smaller natural features like Old Veterans Lake, Eagle Lake, and Thunder Lake dot the surrounding woodlands.

Local landmarks such as Neveln Field and a network of recreation-focused roads like Boat Landing 8 Rd and Veteran Lake Ln suggest the area's dual role in industrial power generation and Northwoods leisure. Significant tributary systems including Thunder River and Medicine Brook feed into the primary reservoirs, while downstream the Johnson Falls Flowage continues the sequence of river management near Johnson Falls Dam.
