About this map

Rib Lake serves as the focal point for this Northwoods Wisconsin landscape, where the village and the lake of the same name are positioned at the junction of Wi-102 and State Rd. The village footprint is defined by a grid including Railroad St and Fayette Ave, with the Village of Rib Lake Wastewater Treatment Facility situated along the southern shore. The surrounding terrain is heavily defined by its glacial history, evidenced by the path of the Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl which winds through the northern and western reaches of the quadrangle.

Water is the dominant feature of the geography, with the Big Rib River and numerous tributaries such as Silvernagel Cr and Sheep Ranch Cr draining the land. Scattered throughout are smaller water bodies like Kennedy Lake, Little Rib Lake, and James Lake, while Camp Forest Springs occupies a significant area to the northwest. Local transportation is maintained by a network of rural routes including Co Hwy-D and Co Hwy-C, connecting the dispersed residences and recreation sites across Taylor County.
