About this map

Crandon serves as the hub of this Forest County landscape, situated at the intersection of Us-8 and Wi-55. The settlement is defined by its relationship with the surrounding water, most notably the expansive Metonga Lake to the south and the smaller Peshtigo Lake and Surprise Lake near the town center. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as W Hill and E Hill, which overlook the glacial lake basins.

Outside the primary settlement, the map reveals a transition into a more rural and industrial environment. The presence of the Crandon/Steve Conway Municipal Airport to the south and the smaller cluster at Sherman Corners illustrate the modern infrastructure supporting this northern Wisconsin community. Hydrological features like the Wolf River, Little Rice Lake, and Swamp Cr dominate the outlying areas, reflecting the region's characteristic wetland and riverine geography that has long influenced local transport and land use.
