2013 Map of Newald

About this map

The forest and river systems of Forest County define this 2013 survey of the northern Wisconsin wilderness. At the northern edge of the map, the settlement of Newald sits at the junction of State Hwy 139 and Broadway St, while the community of Cavour occupies the southeastern corner where US Hwy 8 meets the regional road network. The central landscape is dominated by the winding path of the Peshtigo River and its numerous tributaries, including Kersten Cr and Camp Eight Cr. This area is historically significant for its rail-and-logging connections, noted here by Soo Xing and the Consolidated Lookout Tower. Smaller water bodies like Van Zile Lake and Marsh Number Ten dot the terrain, illustrating the glacial hydrography of the region. The map provides a clear record of remote access points like the Big Joe Campground, situated along the river's edge south of the main highway corridors.
