About this map

Mineral Lake and English Lake anchor this 1984 survey of the high woodlands within the Chequamegon National Forest. The landscape is defined by the sharp topography of the Gogebic Range, where the Brunsweiler River and numerous tributaries like Camp Six Creek and McCarthy Creek carve through the timberland. While the area is largely undeveloped, the map reveals a network of recreational and access points, including a campground on the southern shore of Mineral Lake and a picnic area at Potter Lake.

Smaller, named water bodies such as Lake Three, Gilbert Lake, and Moquah Lake suggest a region shaped by glacial depressions. Remote forest roads like Honninen Road and Broeniman Road provide the primary transit through the forest, while the presence of the Scenic Trail and a gravel pit point to the dual nature of the land as both a recreational resource and a source of raw materials. The cryptic label Toskis appears in the western portion, providing a unique point of interest for local researchers.
