About this map

The Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Pine River and Popple River carve their paths through the timberlands. The settlement of Long Lake serves as the focal point, situated near its namesake waters and the Chicago and North Western rail line. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals a region defined by its water resources and forestry infrastructure, including the Long Lake Lookout Tower and multiple Gravel Pits used for local road building.

Genealogists and local historians will find the locations of the Long Lake Cemetery and Forest Home Cemetery, along with the civic center at the Townhall. The map detail includes depth curves for several water bodies, such as Halsey Lake and Fay Lake, a detail provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to supplement the topographical data. The forest boundary between Forest County and Florence County bisects the area, illustrating the administrative divisions in this heavily wooded northern interior.
