About this map

Pine River and Little Popple River carve through this Northwoods landscape on the border of Wisconsin and Michigan in the early twenty-first century. The terrain is defined by glacial features, including kettle lakes such as Ellwood Lake, Sand Lake, and Cowboy Lake. A distinct flatland known as The Plains occupies the central portion of the map, situated north of the meandering river systems.

Rural infrastructure is well-established, with roads like Church Rd, Homestead Rd, and Section Line Rd following the legacy of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of RR 1 and various county highways indicates a network built for forestry and local transit. Smaller watercourses like Johnson Cr, Lepage Cr, and the S Br Little Popple River further subdivide the wooded tracts, showing the complex hydrology that continues to shape land use in this border region.
