2022 Map of Bob Lake

About this map

Bob Lake and the surrounding glacial terrain of Chippewa County are meticulously documented in this 2022 survey. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of kettle lakes and flowages, reflecting the post-glacial topography of northern Wisconsin. The Ice Age National Scenic Trl winds through the region, passing notable elevations like Baldy Mtn and traversing between countless water bodies including Knickerbocker Lake, Highland Lake, and Lowland Lake. A modest rural infrastructure is represented by roads like Co HWY M and Co HWY E, which connect isolated homesteads and recreation areas. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the presence of Cleveland Cem near the southern edge of the map offers a specific point of interest in this otherwise lake-dotted wilderness. The map captures a contemporary look at a landscape where the natural hydrography, from Hay Meadow Flowage to Riley Lake, remains the primary geographic feature.
