About this map

The East Fork Chippewa River defines the drainage of this forested Ashland County landscape, winding south from the settlement of Shanagolden. This 2013 survey illustrates a region shaped by Northwoods water and timber history, where family-named routes like Nelson Rd and Mertig Rd intersect with a network of Forest Service roads. A complex of wetlands and small lakes, including Pelican Lake, Muskellunge Lake, and Gates Lake, characterizes the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

Evidence of the area's logging heritage and modern recreation is visible through labels such as Camp Fourteen Cr and Camp Fifteen Cr, alongside the Cross Country Ski Area Point of Interest. The presence of Railroad Rd following a southern ridge suggests the path of historic transport lines that once serviced the local timber industry. This map provides a clear record of the modern hydrography and access points for the Kenyon Springs and Bay Spring areas.
