2013 Map of Jump River Fire Tower

About this map

Jump River Fire Tower stands as a prominent landmark in this northern Wisconsin landscape, overlooking the confluence of the river systems that define the region. The drainage of the Yellow River and its various branches, including the N Fork Yellow River and S Fork Yellow River, creates a complex network of waterways and wetlands. Further north, the Upper Steve Cr Flowage and Steve Cr dominate the drainage patterns. This 2013 survey illustrates the managed forest environment, where a dense grid of service roads like Yellow River Rd and Lost Lake Rd provide access to interior tracts. A significant recreational feature is the Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle near Sailor Cr, reflecting the glacial history that formed local basins such as Lost Lake and Pickerel Lake.
