About this map

Mt Tom rises above a landscape defined by an intricate network of wetlands and small glacial lakes in this 2018 survey of Marinette County. The hydrology is dominated by the Middle Inlet, including its Upper and Lower branches, which drain the low-lying terrain near Star Lake and Simpson Lake. The area's rural character is evidenced by a grid of named roads reflecting local history and land ownership, such as Tadisch Ln, Delsart Ln, and Murphy Rd.

Surface water is a primary feature of the region, ranging from the larger Newton Lake and Little Newton Lake in the northwest to the smaller basins of Retcof Lake and Rush Lake further south. These features, along with Medicine Brook and Smith Cr, create a complex aquatic environment typical of northern Wisconsin. The distribution of homes and clearings along routes like Co Rd A and Co Hwy X shows the modern residential pattern interspersed with the natural drainage of the land.
