About this map

The Townsend Flowage serves as a central landmark for this portion of the Nicolet National Forest, where the twin communities of Townsend and Lakewood define the local settlement pattern. This modern survey illustrates a landscape dominated by glacial lake clusters, ranging from the expansive Archibald Lake and Maiden Lake to smaller basins like Surprise Lake and Smoke Lake. The terrain is interconnected by the North Branch Oconto River and McCaslin Brook, reflecting a region deeply tied to water resources and forestry.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial sites, including Forest Home Cem, Lakewood Forest Cem, and Saint-Mary-of-the Lakes Cem. The conversion of older transport corridors is evident in the presence of the Nicolet State Trl, which mirrors the traditional travel routes through the woods. Meanwhile, the Lakewood Airpark provides a modern navigational reference point amidst a dense network of forest roads such as Hemlock Dam Road and Krumpos Road.
