About this map

The Sugar Camp 1909C361 Dam regulates the northeastern waters of this lake-heavy corridor in Oneida County, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of glacial basins and interconnected waterways. The central portion of the map is dominated by large bodies of water including North Nokomis Lake, Sand Lake, and the sprawling Muskellunge Lake, which are linked by smaller tributaries like Swamp Creek and Indian Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the developed recreation and seasonal residency patterns typical of northern Wisconsin, showing how local roads navigate between significant landmarks such as Tom Doyle Lake and West Spider Lake.

Smaller, specifically named basins like Jenny Barnes Lake, Kate Pier Lake, and Oatmeal Lake suggest a history of localized naming and land ownership. The presence of the Rainbow Flowage in the northwest corner highlights the managed water levels that characterize the region's hydrography. For those researching the area's geography, the map provides a clear record of shoreline footprints and drainage patterns at the beginning of the 21st century.
