1970 Map of Jump River Fire Tower

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Jump River Fire Tower stands as a sentinel over the township borders of Westboro, Grover, and Molitor. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and water bodies, including the significant Upper Silver Creek Flowage and the slow-moving Yellow River. Depth curves for these waters, compiled by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, provide technical detail for the forest's interior lakes like Lost Lake and Pickerel Lake. Scattered Gravel Pits indicate localized extraction activity amidst the dense woodland and the sprawling Kiddie Swamp. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a quiet, resource-oriented wilderness shaped by the drainage of Silver Creek and the North Fork and South Fork tributaries.
