2018 Map of Jump River Fire Tower NW

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this landscape, where the convergence of the North Fork Jump River and South Fork Jump River defines the local topography. This hydrologically complex area in Northern Wisconsin is marked by numerous small tributaries including Crazy Horse Cr, Alden Cr, and Gilbert Cr. The map reveals a transition between dense forest and a managed network of rural roads like River Rd and Ranch Rd. Of particular interest is Big Falls, a notable natural landmark on the South Fork. The boundary between Taylor, Price, and Rusk counties meets here, illustrating how these river systems and the national forest lands dictate the regional borders and travel patterns. For researchers, the presence of family-named roads such as Nessa Rd and Morgan Rd indicates the persistent footprint of local residents within this protected woodland environment.
