2005 Map of Jump River Fire Tower SW

About this map

Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest dominates this Taylor County landscape, reflecting the long-term management of the Medford - Park Falls Ranger District. The map captures a topography defined by drainage networks and wetland complexes, most notably the expansive Kidby Swamp. Water is a constant presence, with the Jump River and its accompanying rapids flowing through the northern reaches, while the Yellow River meanders across the southern sections near the borders of Cleveland and Grover. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by scattered Gravel Pits and a network of Forest Service roads. Small tributaries like Leavitt Creek and Bear Creek further delineate the township boundaries of Jump River and Westboro, providing a detailed look at the rural land divisions and natural waterways during the early 21st century.
