About this map

The Menominee Indian Reservation occupies the majority of this northern Wisconsin landscape, characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and river systems. The drainage is dominated by the West Branch Wolf River and the Little West Branch Wolf River, which wind through the forested terrain alongside smaller tributaries like Tourtillotte Creek and Squaw Creek. Human activity is marked by the presence of several extraction sites, including a Sandpit and multiple Gravel Pits, while the Dutchman Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark in the southwest.

Transport and conservation are represented by the Soo Line railroad corridor and the Evergreen River State Fishery Area at the northern boundary. Dozens of small water bodies, such as Perote Lake, La Verne Lake, and Teabeau Lake, are scattered throughout, suggesting a landscape shaped by glacial recession. The boundary between Langlade and Menominee Counties bisects the northern edge of the map, illustrating the administrative division of this remote wooded region.
