About this map

The Menominee Indian Reservation occupies the southern half of this mid-century survey, characterized by the winding path of the Wolf River and several significant rapids like The Dalles. The landscape is a complex network of glacial lakes and springs within the Nicolet National Forest, where conservation and recreation were firmly established by the early 1950s. A dedicated Fish Hatchery near the settlement of Langlade and the Gardner Dam Boy Scout Camps indicate the area's importance for resource management and youth organizations.

Smaller settlements and mail stops such as Markton PO and Markton serve as local hubs in a region otherwise dominated by timber and water resources. The infrastructure of the era is visible through fire prevention and local governance, including the Boulder Lake Lookout Tower, the La Belle Lookout Tower, and a centrally located Town Hall. For genealogists, the inclusion of St Joseph Ch and numerous named lakes like Trout Lake and Boulder Lake provides specific points of interest for family histories tied to the reservation and surrounding forest lands.
