2010 Map of Burrows Lake

About this map

The Tomahawk River winds through this Northwoods landscape, feeding into the expansive waters of the Willow Reservoir and the Willow River Reservoir. Water management is a primary feature of the geography here, anchored by the WP50 Dam which helps regulate the complex system of interconnected wetlands and flowages. The terrain is characterized by numerous smaller water bodies such as Burrows Lake, Hughitt Lake, and the marshy reaches of Swamp Lake. A single vertical landmark, the Jack Pine Lookout Tower, stands as a testament to the region's history of fire observation and forestry management. The network of drainage includes Clukey Creek, Brown Creek, and Bear Creek, illustrating the intricate hydrologic pattern of Oneida County before further modern development altered these wilder corridors.
