About this map

Mole Lake and the southeastern reaches of the Nicolet National Forest anchor this mid-century survey of the Wisconsin Northwoods. The landscape is a dense network of glacial water bodies, from the sprawling Pickerel Lake and Rolling Stone Lake to smaller basins like Deep Hole Lake and Skunk Lake. Settlement is concentrated near Lily and Hollister, where the Wolf River winds through the southern terrain.

Social and civic landmarks of the era are visible in the many rural schools and camps, including Arbutus Sch, Pearson Sch, and the lakeside Camp Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan. Transportation is defined by a mix of early roads and rail infrastructure, such as the Pir Shout Siding and segments of Old Grade, reflecting the region's logging and recreational history. Family history and community roots are preserved at Pearson Cem and Lily Cem, alongside the Adventist Sch situated near the riverbanks.
