About this map

The Menominee Indian Reservation dominates this 1970s landscape, centered on the settlement of Zoar. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and glacial lakes, including Lake Neconish, Lake Noseum, and Lake Elma. These water bodies feed into the North Branch Menominee Creek and the West Branch Wolf River, illustrating the importance of the local watershed to the region's character.

Evidence of historical transport and resource management is visible through the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the central portion of the map, while the northern boundary features the Woods Flowage State Fishery Area. Local hydrology is further marked by specific points like Chisel Springs and Sipes Spring. The proximity of the Langlade, Menominee, and Shawano County borders highlights the intersection of jurisdictional boundaries within this wooded area.
