2015 Map of Diamond Lake

About this map

The town of Drummond serves as a gateway to the dense woodlands of the Chequamegon National Forest, where a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands defines the northern Wisconsin landscape. Water is the primary feature of this terrain, ranging from the sprawling, multi-lobed Lake Owen and the centrally located Diamond Lake to smaller, distinct bodies like Sugar Bush Lake and Beer Lick Lake. The map reveals an intricate system of forest service roads, such as FR 212 and FR 404, which provide access to remote areas like Eighteenmile Creek Springs and Johnson Springs. This 2015 survey illustrates how the region remains largely dedicated to conservation and seasonal recreation, with many lakes accessible only by these unpaved routes, while the path of Old 63 S hints at earlier transportation corridors through the timberland.
