About this map

The Wolf River defines the landscape of this northern Wisconsin quadrangle, joined by a dense network of tributaries including Evergreen River, McCall Creek, and Burnt Shanty Creek. This 2011 survey captures a region primarily shaped by its waterways and timber history, with the small settlement of Markton situated in the northern reaches near the riverbanks. The terrain is marked by numerous cascades, such as Evergreen Falls, Sullivan Falls, and Big Smoky Falls, indicating the elevation changes that drive the local hydrography.

Roadways like Stacy Dam Rd, Planing Camp Rd, and Munson Lake Rd suggest a history of resource extraction and water management. For researchers, the presence of the Saturday Islands and the varied creek systems provide a detailed record of the natural geography before modern developments might further alter these riparian environments. The map also documents recreational or historical access points like McCall Lake and Lower McCall Lake.
