This is the Wolf-Fox river watershed as seen from earth orbit. The Wolf River flows south through the Menominee Reservation, whose distinct straight boundaries outline heavy forests--a result of the tribe's sustainable forestry practices. The Wolf flows south into Lakes Poygan and Butte des Morts, where it joins with the north-flowing Fox River. The Upper Fox empties into Lake Winnebago, and the Lower Fox then emerges out the northern end of the lake, to empty into Green Bay.
