2005 Map of Medford NW

USGS Topo · Published 2006

About this map

Glacial kettle lakes and dense woodlands characterize this portion of Taylor County, where the Chequamegon National Forest meets localized farming and recreation. The landscape is defined by the Ice Age Semi-Primitive Nonmotorized Area, a designation reflecting the geological heritage of the region's terminal moraines. Local civic life is anchored by small rural centers such as Murat and Washington, while the Molitor Cem and Brookside Sch provide clear markers for genealogists tracing family histories in the townships of Molitor, Hammel, and Medford. Water is a constant presence, from the winding Black River in the south to a cluster of named fishing and recreation spots like Sackett Lake, Long Lake, and the remote Grassy Knoll Lake. The map reveals a transition from managed timberlands and public recreation areas to the organized grid of private farmsteads and rural roads.
