About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Wisconsin and Michigan, where the Brule River defines the state line in the northwest corner. This area in Florence County is a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways, centered on the Pine River which winds through the southern reach. The hydrology of the region is notably complex, with isolated bodies of water like Lake of Dreams, Lauterman Lake, and Porcupine Lake scattered across the township lines.

Remote forest roads, such as Chipmunk Rapids Rd and Fay Lake Rd, provide the only significant access into the timberland. Points of interest for those studying the area's natural history include Trout Springs and the Chipmunk Rapids, highlighting the importance of the river systems in this Northwoods environment. The absence of traditional townsites underscores the conservation-focused character of this protected wilderness during the early twenty-first century.
