2015 Map of Newald

About this map

The Soo Line corridor defines the Northwoods geography of this 2015 survey, passing through the remote timberlands and wetland systems of Forest and Florence Counties. The settlement at Newald serves as a focal point in the northern portion of the quadrangle, while the historic rail-connected communities of Laona Junction and Cavour anchor the central and southeastern reaches. This area is characterized by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Peshtigo River and the headwaters of the Little Popple River. Large portions of the terrain are preserved within the Nicolet National Forest, revealing a landscape of glacially-formed basins such as Van Zile Lake and Ross Lake. Small drainage features like Marsh Number Ten and Kersten Cr reflect the complex hydrology of the region, which has long supported the local logging and outdoor recreation economies.
