About this map

The Katakitekon Indian Village and its associated Katakitekon Indian Village Cem anchor the southern portion of this landscape along the shores of Lac Vieux Desert. This area, situated near the Michigan-Wisconsin border, illustrates a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands characteristic of the northern woods. Significant water bodies such as Imp Lake, Taylor Lake, and Stone Lake are interspersed throughout the Ottawa National Forest, which dominates the terrain.

Watershed connectivity is evident through the South Branch Paint River and its feeder sources like Paint River Springs. The map documents the overlap of tribal lands and national forest boundaries, including the Chequamegon - Nicolet National Forest to the south. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Watersmeet Wayside Park and a prominent pipeline corridor that bisects the northern timberland, reflecting the era's balance between conservation and utility.
