About this map

Crandon serves as the focal point of this Forest County survey, situated between the prominent elevations of West Hill and East Hill. The town's civic heart is anchored by the Forest County Courthouse, while its surrounding landscape is defined by a dense network of water bodies. To the south, the expansive Metonga Lake dominates the terrain, complemented by Peshtigo Lake, Clear Lake, and Surprise Lake closer to the settlement center.

Genealogists can identify significant burial sites at Lakeside Cem and Crandon Cem, providing critical touchpoints for local family history. The northern reaches of the quadrangle show the meandering path of the Wolf River and Little Rice Lake, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of the region. Aviation infrastructure is noted at the Crandon/Steve Conway Municipal Airport, while the hydrography is further detailed through several named streams including Swamp Cr, Drake Cr, and Outlet Cr.
