1978 Map of Natzke Camp

About this map

New Wood State Public Hunting Grounds dominates this central Wisconsin landscape, where the legacy of the regional timber industry is written in the names of legacy sites like Natzke Camp and Camp 25. This 1970s survey shows a territory defined by its hydrologic network, with the New Wood River, Copper River, and Wolf Creek draining the forest. The presence of several Old Railroad Grades and an Old RR Grade cutting through the townships of Corning and Harding illustrates the historical transportation infrastructure once used to move logs out of the backwoods. Remote outposts such as Camp Twentysix and Camp 27 are shown alongside natural landmarks like June Lake and Whiskey Bill Creek, offering a detailed view of the area before modern development altered its character as a dedicated conservation and hunting territory.
