2015 Map of Townsend

About this map

The Nicolet National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the settlements of Townsend and Lakewood serve as central hubs for a region defined by its dense network of glacial lakes and waterways. The Townsend Flowage and the North Branch Oconto River provide a primary hydrological framework, while smaller bodies like Smoke Lake and Little Pickerel Lake are accessible via a labyrinth of forest roads and named lanes such as Sunset Bay Ln and Chipmunk Ln. Local history is anchored by landmarks like Forest Home Cem and the Lakewood Airpark, indicating the dual nature of the area as both a working forest and a recreational retreat. The presence of Archibald Tower Springs and McCaslin Brook further highlights the natural spring-fed systems that characterize this portion of Oconto County during the early 21st century.
