About this map

Wabeno and neighboring Soperton serve as the central hubs of this Forest County landscape, situated along the North Branch Oconto River. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including Trump Lake, Richardson Lake, and Range Line Lake. Significant local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as Forest Hill Cemetery, Saint Ambrose Cemetery, and Trinity Cemetery, reflecting the community's established roots.

The presence of both the Padus Lookout Tower in the north and the Carter Lookout Tower to the south indicates the area's importance for forest management. Small settlements like Padus, Carter, and Freedom Corners are connected by a grid of rural roads and timber lanes, such as Bushafer Rd and Rangeline Rd, which traverse the varied terrain. Recreational sites like the Richardson Lake Campground highlight the intersection of the local timber economy and the Northwoods tourism tradition.
