2013 Map of Bavaria

About this map

Bavaria and Ormsby anchor this portion of Langlade County, where the north-central Wisconsin landscape is defined by the winding course of the W Br Eau Claire River. The area exhibits a classic post-glacial topography, characterized by a dense concentration of kettle lakes and wetlands in the northeast, including Partridge Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Bullhead Lake. A significant cultural and geographic corridor is formed by the Ice Age Natl Scenic Trl, which meanders through the forest lands east of the river, following the terminal moraine. Settlement patterns are sparse and largely oriented around regional routes like Cohwy-J and Cohwy-H, with small clusters of development near Ormsby Pond and along the local creek systems of McCloud Cr and Pratt Cr. The map captures a region primarily dedicated to timber and recreation just after the first decade of the 21st century.
