2005 Map of Jump River Fire Tower

About this map

Chequamegon - Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, revealing a mosaic of wetlands and timberland managed for conservation. The Jump River Fire Tower stands as a focal point for early forest management, situated near a series of Gravel Pits that suggest local road-building and resource extraction. The hydrology of the region is notably complex, defined by the Yellow River and its North Fork Yellow River, alongside significant water bodies like the Upper Steve Creek Flowage and the Upper Steve Creek Wetland Habitat Area. The southern portion of the map transition into the Ice Age Semi Primitive Non Motorized Area, a designation highlighting the geological heritage of the glacial terminal moraine. This 2005 revision preserves the boundary lines for Westboro and Grover, illustrating the intersection of civil townships and federal land use.
