2018 Map of Jump River Fire Tower SW

About this map

Chequamegon-National Forest dominates this section of Taylor County, where the dense woodlands of northern Wisconsin are defined by a complex network of glacial hydrology. The Yellow River flows through the southern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Weasel Cr and Bear Cr that drain the forested interior. In the north, Levitt Cr winds through the landscape, while the sprawling Kidrick Swamp illustrates the region's wetland character. Human presence is marked by a grid of rural forest roads, including Co Hwy D, Miller Dr, and Berry Dr, which provide access through the timberlands. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape largely dedicated to conservation and natural resource management, where the drainage patterns of small creeks continue to shape the forest floor.
