2018 Map of Burrows Lake

About this map

Willow Reservoir dominates the western landscape of this Oneida County region, where complex shorelines meet the winding course of the Tomahawk River. The area is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways, including McCormick Lake, Hughitt Lake, and the namesake Burrows Lake in the south. This terrain, saturated with wetlands and seasonal drainages like Oelhafen Cr and Clukey Cr, reflects the remote and water-rich character of Northern Wisconsin. The Jack Pine Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark in the central woods, a vestige of fire observation infrastructure in an area heavily reliant on timber and conservation. A modest network of forest roads, such as Co Hwy Y and Willow Dam Rd, provides access through the dense marshes surrounding Swamp Lake, tracing the early 21st-century footprint of recreational and resource management in the Northwoods.
