2005 Map of Jump River Fire Tower NW

About this map

The Jump River and its numerous tributaries dominate this landscape in north-central Wisconsin, where the boundaries of Rusk, Price, and Taylor counties converge. Much of the southern and eastern portion of the map is defined by the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, showcasing a region defined by complex hydrology and forest management. The network of water includes the Little Jump River, Main Fork Creek, and the North River, which meet amidst a series of Rapids. Settlement is sparse, with large townships like Hawkins and Kennan encompassing vast tracts of woodland and marsh. Local infrastructure is represented by rural connectors like Morgan Creek Road and Big Falls Road, while small-scale resource extraction is noted by a Gravel Pit near the river banks.
