2018 Map of Morse

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape in Ashland County, where the northern Wisconsin terrain is defined by a dense network of river systems and glacial lakes. The Bad River and Moose River serve as primary drainage basins, joined by smaller tributaries like Squaw Cr and Muskeg Cr. Settlement is concentrated near the railroad corridor that links Cayuga in the north to the community of Morse in the east. This area reflects a quiet, modern rural character where land use is split between protected forest and small private holdings. Local history is anchored at the Morse Cem, while the interior remains largely roadless, accessible only by a few named routes such as the Cayuga Connector and Bolden Rd. Distinctive water bodies like Spillerberg Lake and Seagels Lake dot the wetlands, illustrating the boggy, post-glacial hydrology characteristic of the region.
