About this map

Pigeon Dam Lake and the winding course of the Pigeon River define this Northwoods landscape, where water and forest management shape the local geography. The map reveals a cluster of sites with deep local significance near the northern shore of Round Lake, including the Squaw Lake Cemetery, the South Round Lake Cemetery, and the uniquely named Peter and Eva Niska Memorial Cemetery. This area reflects a history of small-scale settlement and recreation within the expansive timberlands.

Transportation is dominated by a network of forest roads and historic routes like Wausota Rd and Old Co Hwy 33. The map documents active land use through features like the Farley Hill Lookout Tower and the Middle Pigeon River Campground. To the south, the massive expanse of Lake Winnibigoshish meets the shore at Stony Point, emphasizing the importance of these interconnected waterways to the region's character and development.
