2011 Map of Jump River Fire Tower

About this map

The Jump River Fire Tower stands as a primary landmark in this Taylor County landscape, overlooking a complex network of waterways and managed timberlands. This 2011 survey documents a region defined by its hydrography, where the North Fork Yellow River and South Fork Yellow River converge amidst a system of creeks and flowages. Infrastructure for water management and wildlife is evident through features like the Steve Creek Water Fowl 2WP 1669 Dam and the Dennis Gisvold E4894 Dam near Pickerel Lake. The road network, including Hannibal Rd and Heldstab Rd, reflects a rural grid punctuated by specialized access routes like Forest Rd 570, likely serving the forestry or recreational interests surrounding Lost Lake and the various branches of Steve Creek.
