2015 Map of Shanagolden

About this map

Shanagolden sits at the edge of the Chequamegon National Forest, where the settlement and timber lands meet a complex network of glacial hydrology. This 2015 survey reveals an environment defined by the East Fork Chippewa River and its numerous tributaries, including Dryden Creek and Muskellunge Creek. The landscape is dotted with prominent water bodies such as Muskellunge Lake, Gates Lake, and Pelican Lake, many connected by seasonal runs like Rocky Run. A intricate grid of service roads and logging routes, including the Glidden Short Cut Rd and Stock Farm Rd, indicates the ongoing forestry operations and land management within the national forest. Local history and genealogy researchers can find specific named points of interest like Kenyon Springs and Bay Spring, while the presence of Railroad Rd suggests the historical path of the rails that once drove the local economy.
