2015 Map of Mount Whittlesey

About this map

Mount Whittlesey rises as a prominent landmark in this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the border of Ashland Co and Iron Co divides a region defined by its dense network of waterways and glacial lakes. Small settlements like Ballou and Tyler Forks are situated among a complex hydrology that includes the Bad River and the headwaters of numerous creeks such as Montreal Cr and Devils Cr. The map reveals a high concentration of named water bodies in the southern half, including the expansive Lake Galilee, Eureka Lake, and Lake Caroline. This 2015 survey illustrates a modern road network including Red House Rd and Caroline Lake Rd, which provide access to these isolated lakes. The terrain is further characterized by the numerous smaller basins of McCarthy Lake, Maki Lake, and Twin Lakes, reflecting the post-glacial topography of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
