2022 Map of Mount Whittlesey

About this map

The Gogebic Range dominates this portion of northern Wisconsin, where the namesake Mt Whittlesey rises above a landscape defined by glacial lakes and headwater streams. This recent survey illustrates a terrain of high plateaus and dense hydrography, including the settlements of Tyler Forks and Ballou. These small communities are situated along the edges of the highland, providing access to the numerous water bodies that dot the region, such as Lake Galilee, Caroline Lake, and Snowshoe Lake. The topography reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Bad River and Montreal Cr, which carve through the ancient bedrock of the range. Numerous family-named roads like Becker Rd and Flesia Rd hint at the enduring rural footprint in Ashland and Iron counties, where logging and seasonal recreation have long shaped the local economy.
