About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where township lines for Doty, Riverview, and Armstrong intersect amid a dense network of glacial lakes and springs. The 1970s terrain is characterized by its high density of named water bodies, ranging from the evocatively named Deadman Lake and Chicken Crop Lake in the northwest to McComb Lake in the southeast.

Evidence of the region's logging and recreational development is visible in the corridor of the Chicago and North Western railroad and a web of forest roads including Tree Farm Rd and Maiden Lake Road. Local civic life is anchored at the Townhall near Shadow Lake, while unique natural features like Hells Acre Springs and Hills Pond Creek drain the western lowlands. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves specific access points and routes such as Old Grave Rd and the Snowmobile Trail during a period of established forest management.
