About this map

Glacial topography defines this corner of Chippewa County, where dozens of kettle lakes and potholes pockmark the landscape north of Marsh-Miller Lake. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through the central portion of the map, traversing a complex system of water bodies including Salisbury Lake, Larrabee Lake, and the uniquely named Ace-In-The-Hole Lake. This terrain, shaped by ancient ice movements, features localized high points such as Pikes Peak and is drained by the meandering McCann Cr and O'Neil Cr.

Evidence of rural settlement is found in the presence of the Tillinghast Cem and Rufledt Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. The map also captures modern infrastructure like the Gateway Airport in the south and a network of county highways and township roads that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the intersection of natural wilderness and human development in northern Wisconsin.
