About this map

Mellen serves as the central hub of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Bad River and Montreal Creek converge. The layout reveals the industrial and recreational character of the area, featuring the distinct neighborhoods of White City and Tannery Town alongside the historical significance of Foster Junction. The geography is defined by its water and woods, from the cascading waters of Copper Falls within Copper Falls State Park to the isolated shores of Meder Lake and Long Lake.

Tracing the complex network of creeks like Krause Creek and Hardscrabble Creek, the map highlights the transition from settlement to wilderness. Local heritage is grounded at the Cayuga Cemetery in the south, while the presence of the Eagles Rest Resort and Wildwood Haven Resort indicates the region's enduring role as a destination for outdoor retreat. Significant elevation is noted at Eagles Peak, overlooking the many brooks and runs that feed the Bad River system.
