2010 Map of Butternut Lake

About this map

Butternut Lake dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, appearing as a sprawling waterway fed by Spiller Creek and connected to smaller basins like Mud Lake and Schnur Lake. The geography is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies and meandering streams, including the southern flow of the Flambeau River near the Pixley WP61 Dam. This 2010 survey illustrates the transition from the lake-studded north to the river-drained south, where Butternut Creek and Beaver Creek cut through the terrain. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is found at the Mill Pond and the Kennedy Lookout Tower situated near the western edge. The map also traces a grid of rural routes such as County Hwy-B and Bass Lake Rd, providing a clear view of the property divisions and access points that define this recreation-rich pocket of Ashland County.
