About this map

Mt Whittlesey rises as a prominent landmark in this northern Wisconsin landscape, overlooking a complex network of glacial lakes and creek systems. The settlement of Ballou sits centrally, while Tyler Forks and O'Dovero Farms mark human presence along the corridor of Wi-77. The terrain is defined by its water, from the winding Bad River in the south to the northern drainage of Montreal Cr and Tyler Forks.

Lake-rich areas like those surrounding Lake Galilee, Caroline Lake, and Eureka Lake highlight a region shaped by post-glacial topography. Significant local infrastructure is noted by the Mellen Lookout Tower, and the numerous smaller water bodies such as Snowshoe Lake and Maki Lake suggest a terrain largely dedicated to forestry and natural preservation. This survey maps the intricate drainage patterns of feeders like Ballou Cr and Devils Cr as they move toward the larger river systems.
