About this map

Glacial geology and complex waterways define this landscape in Langlade County, where the Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through a dense network of kettle lakes and marshes. The Wolf River serves as a primary hydrological artery, meandering across the central portion of the quadrangle. North of the river, the settlement of Pickerel is situated near Big Twin Lake and Lake Ethel, illustrating the region's character as a hub for lakefront activity and outdoor recreation.

Evidence of established rural communities is seen in the presence of Pearson Cem near Hindu Lake and Evergreen Cem to the southwest. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and local roads such as Otto Mauk Rd and Augustyne Springs Rd, which provide access to smaller water bodies like Fischer Lake and Lawrence Lake. The concentration of named springs, including Augustyn Springs and Harper Springs, highlights the abundant groundwater resources that have historically supported the area's ecosystems.
