About this map

The South Branch Pemebonwon River and the North Branch Pike River define the hydraulic character of this Marinette County landscape in the early 1970s. The region is marked by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, including Town Corner Lake, Lindquist Lake, and Wiggins Lake, many of which feature public access points and picnic areas indicating their role in local recreation. The map highlights the Town Corner State Wildlife Management Area, a significant conservation tract that dominates the central portion of the survey.

Settlement patterns are sparse, anchored by Holmes Junction and community centers such as Beecher Ch and a Church Camp near Christian Lake. Numerous gravel pits and the presence of Dow Dam on the Pike River suggest a rural economy tied to local materials and water management. For the researcher, the detailed road network, including Pike Plains Road and Lundgren Lake Rd, provides a clear view of the area's transition between managed forest and recreational lakefronts.
