About this map

The Amnicon River carves a winding path through this Douglas County landscape, punctuated by the dramatic cascades at Amnicon Falls. This 2010 survey illustrates the rural character of northern Wisconsin just south of Lake Superior, where the Amnicon Falls State Park serves as a centerpiece for the region's natural geography. The map captures small settlements like South Range, Rockmont, and Hines, which are linked by a network of county highways and local routes such as E Bayfield Rd and S Swamp Rd.

Evidence of the area's timber and surveying history remains visible through features like the Flannagan Lookout Tower. The drainage patterns are well-defined by numerous tributaries including Bear Creek, Dutchman Creek, and the Little Amnicon River, showing how the land transitions from the higher ground near Hillcrest toward the river valleys. Local genealogists and historians can trace family-named roads and established property boundaries that define these small communities.
