About this map

The Chicago and North Western Railway cuts through the center of this Oconto County landscape, passing directly through the community of Mountain. This early 1970s record shows a region defined by its timber and water resources within the Nicolet National Forest. To the south, recreational and residential development clusters around Chute Pond and Midget Lake, supported by facilities like St Michael Chapel and various campgrounds. The presence of the Mountain Lookout Tower on Silver Hill and the Bowman Airport further north highlights the management and accessibility of these forest lands.

Water plays a central role in the local economy and geography, with the Oconto River generating several named river features including Loon Rapids and Bagley Rapids. To the east, the landscape transitions into a complex network of creeks and flowages, such as the Waupee Flowage and Bear Paw Lake. Traces of local industry are evident in several Gravel Pits and a Stone Quarry located near the river banks, while names like Niemann Road and Stoehr Road preserve the history of local families and landholders.
