About this map

The Gogebic Range dominates the southern landscape of this northern Wisconsin wilderness, captured during a period of extensive forest management and recreation development. Much of the area is contained within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, including the protected Brunsweiler Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area along the Brunsweiler River. This 2005 revision reflects a landscape dedicated to conservation and backcountry travel, featuring a segment of the North Country National Scenic Trail winding through the timber.

Water defines the region's geography, with numerous named bodies such as Mineral Lake, English Lake, and Lake Three providing focal points for local navigation. The terrain is marked by former industrial activity, including several Gravel Pits and the Marengo Lookout, which speaks to the history of fire observation in the deep woods. Local roads like Hanninen Road and Broeniman Road provide the only access into this remote part of Ashland Co.
