About this map

Perkinstown remains the primary settlement within this section of the Chequamegon National Forest, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and small waterways. The Perkinstown Cem stands as a local landmark near the village, marking the community's long-standing roots in Taylor County. The area is a significant corridor for recreation, featuring the winding Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the Ice Age Loop, which navigate the complex terrain around S Fork Yellow River and numerous water bodies like Salem Lake, Jerry Lake, and Hulls Lake.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are evident through the paths of McKenzie Creek and Beaver Cr, which feed into larger systems such as the Black River. The presence of the Perkinstown Motorized trail system alongside more traditional hiking paths illustrates the modern multi-use character of this forested region, preserving the balance between local residence and public land utility.
