2013 Map of Chain Lake

About this map

The glacial waters of Big Bend and the surrounding Rusk County forests define this 2013 landscape, characterized by an intricate network of kettle lakes and timberland. At the center of the hydrographic system is The Narrows, a passage connecting larger water bodies like Hungry Lake and MacDonald Lake. The area reflects a long-standing tradition of Northwoods recreation and resource management, evidenced by Camp Wahdoon and the Two Bear Camp situated near the northern margin. A significant landmark for forest surveillance, the Stang Lookout Tower stands as a focal point for navigation and fire prevention. The terrain is navigated by a mix of county highways such as Co HWY-D and more localized tracks like Chippewa Trl and Pleasant View Trl, providing access to isolated peninsulas like Deer Head Pt and Sunrise Pt.
