About this map

The Oconto River and its numerous tributaries, including Sullivan Creek and Thunder Creek, define this 1970s landscape within the Nicolet National Forest. This region of Oconto County is characterized by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, from the large basins of Wheeler Lake and Waubee Lake to smaller waters like Bullfrog Lake and Bear Lake. Natural resources and conservation efforts are evident through the Lakewood State Fish Hatchery and several public access points. Historical transportation and land use patterns appear in the form of an old railroad grade and the presence of Bucks Ranch. Local landmarks such as Mary Park, Hickey Springs, and the cascading Snow Falls further illustrate the area's geography. This map provides a look at the Wisconsin Northwoods before more modern developments, showing old routes like Old 32 and Riverside Road.
