2018 Map of Roaring Rapids

About this map

The Peshtigo River carves a winding path through this corner of the Nicolet National Forest along the border of Oconto and Marinette counties. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by its waterways, capturing the turbulent stretches of Roaring Rapids, Wilson Rapids, and the notable Jerry Chute. The density of named glacial lakes, including Taylor Lake, Brandywine Lake, and the cluster at Three Little Lakes, indicates a region heavily utilized for seasonal recreation and timber management. A complex network of forest roads and lanes, such as Parkway Rd and Camp 5 Rd, provides access to these remote water bodies. The lack of concentrated municipal development highlights the area's preservation as a managed wilderness, where the hydrology of Swamp Cr and Campbell Cr remains the dominant geographic feature.
