2010 Map of Natzke Camp

About this map

Natzke Camp and several numerically named outposts define the character of this Wisconsin woodland at the start of the 21st century. The landscape is dominated by the complex drainage systems of the New Wood River and its various branches, including the East Fork and Center Fork. Water management is evident through features like the New Wood H2.117 Dam, which creates the New Wood Flowage, and the Mravik E-7031 Dam situated along the North Fork Copper River. These hydraulic works suggest a history of managing local water levels for conservation or industrial purposes in a region characterized by numerous small tributaries like Shea Creek, Wolf Creek, and Krueger Creek. The proximity of Camp Twenty-five, Camp Twenty-seven, and Camp Twentysix Creek points toward the area's legacy as a site for forestry or seasonal encampments, connected by a network of local roads meeting at Averill Junction.
