About this map

The Wolf Wild and Scenic River dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, carving a complex hydraulic path through Menominee and Langlade counties. This reach of the Wolf River is characterized by its high concentration of whitewater features, including Shanty Rapids, Gilmores Mistake Rapids, and Sullivan Falls. The river's course is punctuated by the Saturday Islands and deepens at The Dalles, reflecting a river system largely unchanged by modern development.

Around the small settlement of Markton, the terrain is defined by dense forest cover within the Nicolet National Forest and numerous water bodies such as Lower McCall Lake. A network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, including BIA Rte 114 and BIA Rte 122, provides access to the interior. The landscape is a mosaic of smaller tributaries like Burnt-Shanty Cr and Dalles Cr, showcasing a region where water and timber define the geography.
