About this map

Mount Whittlesey Mellen Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark over a landscape defined by an intricate network of creeks and northern Wisconsin lakes. The settlement pattern here is sparse, characterized by the small community at Tyler Forks and localized sites like O'Dovero Farms and the junction at Ballou. These clusters of activity are linked by a grid of rural routes including Reval Rd and County Hwy-MM.

Water dominates the southern half of the quadrangle, where Lake Galilee and Eureka Lake are surrounded by smaller basins like Dollar-Lake and Snowshoe Lake. The Bad River and Tyler Forks river system drain the region, fed by numerous tributaries such as Montreal Creek and Devils Creek. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring character of Iron County's forested interior, where the geography remains centered on its natural hydrology and high-point vistas.
