About this map

The Michigan-Wisconsin border runs through this lake-strewn landscape where Gogebic, Iron, and Vilas counties meet. Centered on Chaney Lake, the terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies and seasonal wetlands, including the clusters of the Negro Lakes and Virgin Lake. The presence of roads like Mosinee Grade Rd and Zeckovich Grade Rd suggests the historical importance of the timber industry and forest management in this borderland.

A network of local routes, such as Co Hwy O and Pardee Lake Rd, provides access to many smaller water features like Dumbbell Lake and Lake Franchian. To the east, the W Br Presque Isle River winds through the forest, while isolated features like No Mans Lake and Beatrice Lake highlight the secluded nature of the Northwoods. This area serves as a primary example of the interconnected hydrology of the upper Midwest.
