2005 Map of Shanagolden

About this map

Shanagolden sits as a lonely outpost within the sprawling timberlands of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, dominated by the Chippewa River and its East Fork Chippewa River, which wind through low-lying marshlands and glacial kettle lakes. To the south, the Spring Brook Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area highlights a commitment to preserving the backcountry character of the Northwoods, while recreational access points like the Stock Farm Bridge Recreation Site provide entry to the river systems. Named landmarks such as Muskellunge Lake, Pelican Lake, and Kenyon Springs dot the terrain, connected by a network of forest routes including Mertig Road and Eder Road. This edition captures a region where managed forestry and public recreation intersect, preserving the spatial layout of industrial gravel pits and primitive boat launches.
