The city of Rhinelander serves as the focal point of this Northwoods landscape, situated where the Wisconsin River forms extensive flowages and connects a dense network of glacial lakes. In the early 1980s, the area's development is centered around its civic and educational infrastructure, including Central School, the Hospital, and City Hall. The shoreline of Boom Lake and the Wisconsin River Flowage dominate the central topography, while the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and an old railroad grade trace the historic transit routes through the timbered terrain. Further north, the landscape transitions into the town of Pine Lake and Sugar Camp, characterized by scout camps like Camp Tesomas and dozens of water bodies such as Silver Lake and Pickerel Lake. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of St Marys Cemetery and Forest Home Cemetery, along with neighborhood landmarks like St Josephs Church and Newbold School.
