2013 Map of Rib River Lookout Tower

About this map

The Rib River Lookout Tower stands as a focal point in this portion of Taylor County, overlooking a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the Big Rib River and the E Br Little Black River. This area in central Wisconsin remains predominantly rural, characterized by a grid of local roads and county highways such as Co HWY-C and Co HWY-M that navigate the varied creek systems. Small tributaries including Joe Martin Cr, Coffee Cr, and Mink Cr lace the territory, indicating the well-watered nature of these northwoods lands. The concentration of family-named roads like Judnic RD, Janda Ave, and Dassow RD suggests a deep-rooted pattern of private land ownership and local heritage in the Goodrich area. The southern edge of the map is anchored by Wi-64, the primary east-west thoroughfare connecting these remote forest and farm tracts.
