About this map

Amnicon Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this Douglas County landscape, where the Amnicon River begins its course through the north-central Wisconsin woods. This recent survey captures a region characterized by a high density of small water bodies and glacial depressions, including Dowling Lake, Reichuster Lake, and the aptly named Mud Lake. The terrain is largely defined by the drainage patterns of Erickson Cr and Bear Cr, which flow through the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Local transportation is facilitated by a network of rural routes such as Co Rd A and Pioneer Rd, which provide access to scattered lakefront properties and timberlands. Family names and local identifiers are preserved in road names like John Schmidt Rd and Reichuster Lake Rd, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking local land use. To the southeast, Bear Lake serves as a significant landmark, anchoring a portion of the map dominated by intricate wetland systems and seasonal streams.
