About this map

The Peshtigo River carves a dramatic course through this portion of Marinette County, characterized by technical water features including Wilson Rapids, Roaring Rapids, and Jerry Chute. This early 1970s landscape is defined by the boundary between Athelstane and Silver Cliff, where the terrain is dotted with numerous small water bodies such as Brandywine Lake, Rooney Lake, and Campbell Lake.

Social and recreational infrastructure is evident at the St Mary of the Cliff Ch and several designated picnic areas and campgrounds along the riverbanks. The road network, including Swede John Road and Parkway Road, provides access to these timbered tracts and glacial lakes. Small-scale industrial activity is represented by a Gravel Pit and Sandpit, while the Nicolet National Forest boundary marks the southwestern portion of the quadrangle.
