1972 Map of Thunder Mountain

About this map

Nicolet National Forest encompasses much of this Wisconsin landscape, where the Peshtigo River feeds into the expansive Caldron Falls Reservoir. The terrain is defined by Thunder Mountain and its associated landmarks, including a Lookout Tower and Thunder Mountain Falls. Local recreation and conservation are evident through the Camp Bird State Youth Recreational Center and the Thunder River State Rearing Station, reflecting the mid-century focus on land management and public youth services. Numerous small lakes such as Fryingpan Lake, Ledge Lake, and Bottle Lake are scattered throughout the wooded sectors, connected by a network of rural routes like Bucks Ranch Road and Martin Lane. The map details a transition from the wilder forest interiors to the more developed edges near Thunder Mountain Ranch and various public access points.
