About this map

Wolf River and its numerous rapids and falls define this landscape in the southern reaches of the Nicolet National Forest. Flowing through the borderlands of Langlade, Oconto, and Menominee Counties, the river's path is marked by distinctive water features including Gilmores Mistake Rapids, Shotgun Eddy Rapids, and Big Smoky Falls. To the west, the Evergreen River mirrors this descent, tumbling through Evergreen Falls and Ducknest Falls before its confluence with the Wolf.

Markton sits as the primary settlement near the northern edge of the sheet, while the surrounding forest is crisscrossed by an extensive network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes and logging roads like Planting Camp Rd. The topography is characterized by the complex hydrology of the region, featuring McCall Lake and Lower McCall Lake, alongside numerous named creeks such as Burnt Shanty Cr and Dells Cr. This area, known as The Dalles, illustrates a remote river-based economy focused on the natural resources of the Wisconsin northwoods.
