About this map

Crandon serves as the focal point of this Forest County landscape, situated between the sizable waters of Metonga Lake and Peshtigo Lake. The town's layout reflects a classic Northwoods community, where residential streets give way to the surrounding glacial topography, including West Hill and East Hill. To the west, the Wolf River winds through a network of wetlands and smaller bodies of water like Little Rice Lake and Whiteye Lake, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks such as Lakeside Cemetery and Crandon Cemetery, providing important links to the area's families. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-documented, from the Crandon Municipal Airport to the rural crossroads of Sherman Corners. The map also captures the flow of numerous waterways, including Drake Creek and Swamp Creek, which have historically shaped the local economy and recreation.
