About this map

The glacial waters of the Northern Highland State Forest dominate this northern landscape, where intricate shorelines and wetlands define the region's character in the early 1970s. The interconnected basins of Big St Germain Lake and Little St Germain Lake serve as a central geographic anchor, while the Wisconsin River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle before entering the Rainbow Flowage.

Evidence of local navigation and development is visible through a network of roads like Lost Lake Dr and Birchwood Drive, alongside civil landmarks such as the St Germain Cem. The inclusion of the Pickerel Lookout Tower and scattered Gravel Pits reflects the area's forest management and infrastructure needs during this era. Large tracts of the American Legion State Forest provide a clear view of the conserved timberlands that surround notable water bodies like Plum Lake and Pickerel Lake.
