About this map

Shady Knoll Sch stands as a focal point for the rural community in this northern Wisconsin landscape, which was surveyed between 1938 and 1941. The area is defined by a complex network of wetlands and water bodies, including Big Pine Lake, Thompson Lake, and Newman Lake. The presence of the Riley Creek CCC Camp reflects the New Deal era labor and conservation efforts that shaped this region's forests and infrastructure.

Public recreation and resource management are evident through numerous sites such as the Newman Picnic Ground and the South Fork Fire Tower, which provided essential fire surveillance over the timberlands of Fifield and Eisenstein. In the northwest, various springs like Camp Nine Springs and Newman Springs feed into the watershed, while the eastern edge of the map touches the Lac Du Flambeau Indian Reservation.
