About this map

The Wolf River and its associated State Fishery Area dominate the northeastern corner of this northern Wisconsin landscape, anchored by the small settlement of Pearson. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Jack Lake, which features Veterans Memorial County Park and a local Campground. The map documents a diverse water system ranging from the Hunting River to the headwaters of the East Branch Eau Claire River, supporting specialized facilities like the Crystal Spring Fish Hatchery.

Tracing the Old Railroad Grade through the eastern sections reveals the region's logging and transit history, while the sprawling Peters Marsh State Wildlife Area highlights the land's transition to conservation and recreation. Notable landmarks like the Pence Lake Lookout Tower and numerous Gravel Pits provide evidence of early fire management and local resource extraction during the early 1970s.
