About this map

Markton sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the Wolf River begins a descent defined by a remarkable sequence of named whitewater features. The river’s course is punctuated by evocative landmarks such as Gilmores Mistake Rapids, Shotgun Eddy Rapids, and Burnt Shanty Rapids, reflecting a history of river navigation and local lore. Further south, the waterway transitions into a series of significant drops, including Sullivan Falls and Ducknest Falls, before reaching the notable geographic feature of The Dalles and the Saturday Islands.

Away from the main river corridor, the terrain is drained by the Evergreen River and Burnt Shanty Cr, creating a dense network of riparian habitats. Remote landmarks like Deadman Spring and Evergreen Falls are accessible only via forest routes like Lower Evergreen Rd and Playing Camp Rd. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the hydraulic patterns and named landforms that define this portion of Oconto County.
