About this map

Wabeno and its neighbor Soperton sit as the primary hubs in this part of Forest County, where the north-central Wisconsin landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and river branches. The N Br Oconto River winds through the center of the area, connecting several small water bodies including Trump Lake, Eugene Lake, and Richardson Lake. The presence of the Richardson Lake Campground and the Padus Lookout Tower to the north reflects the region's long-standing character as a center for timber management and outdoor recreation.

Transportation corridors like State Hwy 32 and State Hwy 52 link smaller settlements such as Padus and Carter. The geography is dotted with family-named features and local landmarks, from Kohlhoff Lake and Zarling Lake to Freedom Corners, providing a precise record of local place-names and land use. This survey captures the transition from the traditional rural settlements into the modern recreational landscape common to the Northwoods.
