About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, providing a detailed look at the Price County and Oneida County borderlands. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Willow Lake, Willow River, and Thunder Creek. A prominent Old Railroad Grade cuts through the western portion of the forest, signaling the region’s logging history and earlier transportation corridors.

South of Minocqua, the map reveals a sparsely populated area where small settlements like Hackett and the town of Lynne are connected by local routes such as Turcott Road and Ottobez Rd. The presence of several Gravel Pits and the winding course of Stony Creek and Scott Creek underscore the natural resource management and glacial geography central to this part of the Northwoods during the late twentieth century.
