2015 Map of Bucks Lake

About this map

The Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through this heavily forested portion of Rusk County, tracing the glacial topography that defines the region's hydrography. Water is the primary feature here, with Bucks Lake and the significant Murphy Flowage anchoring a network of small lakes and streams. The terrain rises toward Mt Atlanta in the southeast, while numerous watercourses like Big Weirgor Cr and Hemlock Cr drain the glacial till. The landscape is interconnected by a series of backroads and trails, including Blue Hills Trail Rd and Serley Camp Trl, reflecting the area's use for timber and recreation. Local landmarks such as Audie Lake, Perch Lake, and Three Lakes suggest a transition into more concentrated lake clusters, providing a clear record of the northern Wisconsin wilderness as it appeared in the early 21st century.
