About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Medford Ranger District manages a complex network of wetlands and protected woodlands. The terrain is defined by the Bear Creek Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area, a designation that preserves the quiet character of the forest. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by the winding courses of Levitt Creek, Wolf Creek, and Weasel Creek, which feed into the larger river systems.

The hydrology of the region is punctuated by numerous rapids along the Jump River and the Yellow River, reflecting the natural descent of the watershed. This 1970 field-checked survey highlights the township divisions between Jump River, Westboro, Cleveland, and Grover, showing how these political boundaries intersect with the natural expanse of Kidrick Swamp and various small extraction sites like a local Gravel Pit.
