2015 Map of Crandon

About this map

Crandon serves as the focal point of this northern Wisconsin landscape, situated between the expansive Metonga Lake and the smaller Peshtigo Lake. The town's grid of streets, including N Railroad Ave and W Glen St, reflects a history intertwined with the Northwoods timber and rail economy. To the north, the Wolf River and Little Rice Lake mark the transition into a terrain defined by glacial remains, including West Hill and East Hill. Researchers can identify specific local landmarks such as Lakeside Cem and Crandon Cem, alongside modern infrastructure like the Crandon/Steve Conway Municipal Airport. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through the winding courses of N Br Peshtigo River and Outlet Cr, which navigate the various wetlands and upland elevations that characterize Forest County.
