About this map

Mt Whittlesey rises prominently in this landscape where the borders of Ashland and Iron counties meet. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and headwater streams, including the southern reaches of Montreal Cr and the westward-flowing Bad River. Small settlements like Ballou and Tyler Forks are situated along the roads that penetrate these woods, providing access to the numerous water bodies that dot the terrain.

Large lakes such as Lake Galilee, Lake Caroline, and Caroline Lake dominate the central and southern portions of the map, surrounded by extensive wetlands and smaller pools like Dollar Lake and Snowshoe Lake. The road network, including Red House Rd and Co Hwy MM, suggests a landscape used for timber management and outdoor recreation, while the Foot Traffic Only trails near Minnow Creek indicate areas preserved for more quiet passage through the Wisconsin Northwoods.
