About this map

Moquah and Benoit anchor this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the agricultural clearings of Bayfield County meet the dense timber of the Chequamegon National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage network feeding toward Lake Superior, including the headwaters of Whittlesey Cr and the winding course of North Fish Creek. Small water bodies like Lake Louise and McGinnis Lake dot the northern reaches, while the Saint Peters Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists researching the local families settled along the township's grid.

Transportation history is visible through the Tri Co Corridor and the winding Moquah Spur, tracing the routes that historically linked these remote settlements to the wider region. The interplay of named country roads, such as Cherryville Rd and Cozy Corner Rd, reflects a landscape defined by 20th-century rural development and forest management, where small-scale farming and timber harvesting have long shaped the local economy.
