About this map

Butler Rock rises as a prominent landmark in this glacial landscape of Oconto County, surrounded by a dense network of forest roads and small, isolated lakes. The hydrology of the area is defined by the West Branch Peshtigo Brook and the winding course of Waupee Creek, which feed into numerous water bodies including Shay Lake, Turtle Lake, and Nelligan Lake.

Transport through this northern Wisconsin terrain is primarily via specialized forest routes like National Forest Road 2301 and historical thoroughfares such as Old Highway 64. The map reveals a cluster of private road names north of the lakes, such as Eliason Rd and Douglas Ln, indicating small-scale residential developments or seasonal camps. The presence of the Butler Rock Lookout Ln suggests the area's ongoing importance for forest management and fire observation.
