About this map

The Willow Reservoir and the winding Tomahawk River define this Northwoods landscape in Oneida County, where the intricate hydrology of northern Wisconsin is on full display. The river course is marked by the Halfbreed Rapids, suggesting the natural obstructions that historical travelers and loggers encountered before the widespread damming of the region's waterways. Numerous glacial lakes dot the terrain, including Burrows Lake, Swamp Lake, and McCormick Lake, providing a clear view of the area's wetland-dominated geography.

Local transport is represented by a network of rural routes such as Willow Dam Rd and Swamp Lake Rd, which connect these water bodies. Several smaller tributaries, including Oelhafen Cr and Clukey Cr, feed into the larger basins, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the upper Wisconsin River system. This survey captures a pocket of the state where the landscape remains primarily shaped by its numerous lakes, creeks, and river rapids.
