About this map

The Jump River and Yellow River anchor the drainage of this Taylor County landscape, where the northern Wisconsin woodlands are etched by an extensive network of forestry and county roads. In the early 21st century, the terrain is characterized by its numerous small tributaries like Bear Creek, Weasel Creek, and Levitt Creek, which wind through the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest region. This network of thoroughfares, including County Hwy-D and Hannibal Rd, reveals a modern timber and recreational landscape managed through a grid of numbered routes like Forest Rd 113 and Forest Rd 1529. These routes, along with Forest Trail 304, indicate a territory used primarily for forestry management and outdoor access, preserving the character of the north woods in a time of established conservation and resource mapping.
