About this map

Dam Lake and the interconnected waters of the Rainbow Flowage dominate this glacial landscape of Oneida County, reflecting a region defined by its dense concentration of lakes and wetlands. The map reveals a complex hydrographic network where Swamp Creek and Indian Creek weave between numerous named basins like N Nokomis Lake and Paradise Lake. This modern survey illustrates the residential and recreational development of the Northwoods, with a dense grid of local roads like Sand Lake Rd and Co Hwy-D providing access to seasonal homes and resorts clustered along the shorelines of Sand Lake and Muskellunge Lake.

Tracing the smaller, uniquely named bodies of water such as Oatmeal Lake, Jenny Barnes Lake, and Little Spider Lake offers insight into local nomenclature and historical land use. The presence of routes like Kate Pier Dr and Wilderness Trl indicates the area's transition into a destination for lake-centered living and tourism, while the surrounding marshlands and creeks maintain the primitive character of the Wisconsin woods.
