About this map

Nicolet National Forest dominates this landscape in northern Oconto County, where the sprawling waters of Townsend Flowage and the North Branch Oconto River define the local geography. The settlement of Townsend sits at the heart of this lake-heavy region, while the village of Lakewood and the nearby Lakewood Airpark serve as hubs to the southeast. Local history is anchored by the Forest Home Cem, located just south of the town center near McCaslin Brook.

The terrain is marked by dense clusters of water bodies including Archibald Lake, Chain Lake, and Pickerel Lake, which are characteristic of this glaciated timberland. The presence of Cathedral Pines suggests preserved stands of old-growth timber amidst a network of forest roads such as Chicken Foot Lake Road and Badlands Road. The map provides a clear view of the rural road network and township boundaries during the late 2010s, capturing the area's balance of residential settlement and protected wilderness.
