2018 Map of Black Oak Lake

About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this survey, where the boundary between Michigan’s Gogebic County and Wisconsin’s Vilas County cuts through a dense network of glacial lakes. This lake-country topography is defined by major water bodies such as Whitefish Lake, Clark Lake, and Loon Lake, interspersed with smaller basins like Dorothy Lake and Glimmerglass Lake. The road network, including Thousand Island Lake Rd and Co Hwy B, provides access to local landmarks like Thompson Lodge and the Loon Campsite. For those researching family history, the eastern portion of the map identifies the Land O' Lakes Cem and Oak Hill Cem, situated near Boat Landing Lake Rd. The inclusion of the Whitefish Lake Bike Trail highlights the area's transition toward recreational land use in the early 21st century.
