About this map

Perkinstown and its surrounding wetlands occupy this 2005 revision of the 1965 topography, situated within the Chequamegon Nicolet National Forest. The landscape is a dense network of glacial lakes and kettle holes, ranging from Kathryn Lake near the settlement to the more secluded Lake Eleven and Hulls Lake. The drainage is defined by the Black River and the Yellow River Fork, winding through a mix of marshy lowlands and forested ridges.

Conservation and recreation are prominent, as seen in the Ice Age Interpretative Trail and the protected Ice Age Semi-Primitive Nonmotorized Area. Locally significant sites such as the Perkinstown Cem and the Perkinstown Lookout provide clear anchors for genealogical research. The presence of a Gravel Pit and several Motorized Trail segments reflects the area's ongoing use for both small-scale industry and outdoor leisure in Taylor County.
