About this map

Amnicon Lake and Dowling Lake anchor this 2015 study of the upper Douglas County watershed. This glacial landscape is defined by its high density of small water bodies and wetlands, ranging from the sizeable Mud Lake in the north to the smaller One-Buck Lake and Scout Lake further east. The area's hydrology is primarily shaped by the meandering Amnicon River and its tributaries, including Erickson Creek and Bear Creek.

A sparse network of local roads and trails provides access through this heavily wooded terrain, with family-named routes such as John Schmidt Rd, Staupe Rd, and E Milchesky Rd suggesting the enduring footprint of rural residency and land ownership. The map captures the quiet, interior character of the Wisconsin Northwoods before the significant encroachment of modern development, focusing instead on the natural transition between Bear Lake in the south and the Reichuster Lake vicinity in the north.
