About this map

Perkinstown serves as the central hub for this portion of the Chequamegon National Forest, a region defined by its glacial hydrology and dense woodland cover. The landscape is dotted with numerous kettle lakes and wetlands, including Lake Nineteen, Hulls Lake, and the distinctly named Lake Eleven. These water bodies feed into complex drainage systems like the S Fork Yellow River and McKenzie Creek.

Modern recreational corridors are prominent, with the Ice Age National Scenic Trail and the Perkinstown Motorized Trail winding through the timber. Local history is anchored at the Perkinstown Cemetery, while the surrounding terrain remains largely undeveloped, preserving the character of the Wisconsin Northwoods. The map also captures the headwaters of the Black River in the south, illustrating the Continental Divide's influence on the local watershed as it splits between the Yellow and Black river basins.
