2022 Map of Butternut Lake

About this map

Butternut Lake and its smaller neighbor Schnur Lake dominate this Northwoods landscape, reflecting a region defined by complex glacial hydrology and a legacy of timber and recreation. Situated along the boundary of Ashland Co and Price Co, the map reveals a dense network of water bodies, including Mud Lake, Bass Lake, and Gardner Lake. The presence of the Mill Pond and the winding course of Butternut Creek suggests a history of local water management, while the southern reach of the map is defined by the Flambeau River and its tributaries like Pinkerton Creek and Oxbow Creek. Local transit and recreation are represented by the Tuscobia State Trail, which cuts across the terrain, following an older corridor through the woods. The road network, including Co Hwy B and Co Hwy E, connects scattered lakeside developments and rural homesteads defined by labels like Lakeshore Lane and Safe Harbor Road.
