About this map

Townsend and Lakewood serve as the primary settlement hubs in this northwoods landscape, situated along the corridor of State Hwy 32. The area is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways, including the expansive Townsend Flowage and the deep waters of Archibald Lake. Conservation and recreation infrastructure is well-established, visible through the Lakewood State Fish Hatchery, the Cathedral of Pines Area, and the Bass Lake Recreation Site.

Logistics and regional industry are represented by the Lakewood Airpark and the Paul Bunyon Ski Area, while the Archibald Lookout Tower and nearby Archibald Tower Springs highlight the importance of forest management. The presence of numerous named forest roads, such as National Forest Road 2598 and National Forest Road 2254, underscores the managed nature of these timberlands where the North Branch Oconto River flows through the northern reaches.
