About this map

The town of Mellen serves as a central hub where the Bad River meets the Tyler Forks and Montreal River systems. This region of northern Wisconsin is defined by its dramatic hydrology and protected lands, with a significant portion of the quadrangle falling within the Chequamegon National Forest. Notable landmarks include Copper Falls and the surrounding trail networks, such as the N Country National Scenic Trail, which winds through the forested landscape.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Cayuga Cem in the southern portion of the sheet, while the historical rail geography is marked by the presence of Foster Junction. The map details a dense network of water bodies, including Meder Lake, Loon Lake, and Murphy Lake, as well as prominent terrain features like Eagles Peak. This survey provides a modern look at the settlement patterns and natural preservation efforts in Ashland County.
