About this map

McCaslin Mtn rises above a landscape defined by the intersection of three counties—Forest, Marinette, and Oconto—within the protected bounds of the Nicolet National Forest. This region is characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and northern streams, including the meandering Rat River and the small tributaries of Swede John Cr. The geography reflects a quiet, forested interior where recreation and conservation have shaped the land use patterns of the early twenty-first century.

Water management and natural drainage are evident in the presence of the Deer Lake Flowage and the numerous named basins such as Lake Irwin, King Lake, and McCaslin Lake. Access to this remote timberland is provided by a system of forest service roads and local lanes, including Michigan Creek & Rat River Rd and Harper Rd, which trace the paths established for forestry and seasonal camps. The map offers a detailed view of the Northwoods hydrology, from the headwaters of Newman Cr to the wetlands surrounding Spruce Lake.
