About this map

Peeksville serves as a central point of settlement in this part of Ashland County, situated near the winding course of Schraum Creek. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic network of the East Fork Chippewa River, which meanders through the western portion of the region. This area of Northern Wisconsin is characterized by numerous small glacial lakes and springs, including Camp Four Lake, Bullhead Lake, and Slim Lake, as well as the secluded Kempf Springs.

Transport and access in the early 21st century are anchored by Wi-13, which cuts a straight line through the center of the quadrangle. The surrounding rural road network, with names like Mail Route Rd, School Cross Rd, and Old Joes Rd, suggests the agricultural and community history of the townships. Numerous tributaries such as Dorns Cr, Nelson Cr, and Spiller Cr drain the timbered and low-lying areas, illustrating the intricate watershed that feeds the larger river systems of the Northwoods.
