About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape in Taylor County, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and river systems. The northern reaches are dominated by the Upper Steve Cr Flowage and the expansive Kidrick Swamp, while the southern portion is crossed by the winding Ice Age National Scenic Trail. This area serves as a significant drainage basin where the N Fork Yellow River and S Fork Yellow River converge, supported by numerous tributaries like Sailor Cr and Mauer Cr.

The Jump River Fire Tower stands as a prominent man-made landmark amidst the dense forest, overlooking a terrain punctuated by isolated water bodies such as Lost Lake and Pickerel Lake. The infrastructure is primarily composed of forestry roads, including Yellow River Rd and Hannibal Rd, which facilitate access through the timberlands and towards the various flowages and creeks that define the regional geography.
