About this map

Holcombe Flowage dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, its irregular shoreline reaching up to meet the confluence of the Jump River and several smaller tributaries. This aquatic system defines the geography where the border between Rusk Co and Chippewa Co intersects the water. To the north and east, the terrain is structured by a grid of rural roads and drainage ways like Main Creek and Skunk Cr. The land use pattern is reflected in family and descriptive road names such as Felski Rd, Giebel Rd, and Railroad Ave, which point to a history of agriculture and timber management in this part of northern Wisconsin. Residential pockets appear along the water's edge at Paradise Point Rd and Whispering Pines Dr, showing the transition from working landscape to recreational waterfront near the Roedecker Lake area.
