About this map

White Potato Lake and a dense network of smaller glacial basins dominate this landscape along the border of Marinette and Oconto counties. The hydrologic complexity is the defining characteristic of this area, with the Peshtigo River cutting through the northeast corner while the Peshtigo Brook and its branches, including the W Br Peshtigo Brook and S Br Peshtigo Brook, drain the extensive wetlands to the west.

Evidence of local history and community is found at the Brazeau Cem, situated near a concentration of lakes including Gilas Lake, Mattrich Lake, and Nelligan Lake. The terrain is marked by numerous forest roads like Forest Rd 1630 and Purdy Rd, reflecting the area's timber-related land use. From the larger waters of Grass Lake in the north to the smaller Newbar Lake and Bahlert Lake in the south, the map documents a landscape where water and woodland dictate the movement of both modern roads and historical property lines.
