2015 Map of Cranberry Lake

About this map

Elk River and its major tributaries, the Little Elk River and Musser Cr, dominate the drainage of this north-central Wisconsin landscape. The terrain is defined by its glaciated hydrology, where numerous water bodies like Big Dardis Lake, Musser Lake, and the namesake Cranberry Lake are connected by a network of creeks. The settlement pattern is largely rural, with development concentrated along established corridors like Co Hwy H and Little Chicago Rd. Local landmarks such as Murphy Lake and Lost Lake are accessed by a grid of timber and township roads including Big Elk Rd and Worcester Rd. The map illustrates the transition from the wetlands surrounding Solberg Lake to the higher ground of the t38n r1e and t37n r1e townships, reflecting the region's enduring character as a water-rich timber and recreation area.
