2005 Map of Diamond Lake

About this map

Lake Owen dominates the western portion of this 2005 map, showing a complex shoreline of bays and inlets that serve as a central recreational feature of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The landscape is a dense network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, where smaller water bodies like Esox Lake, Pot Lake, and Sugar Bush Lake are surrounded by thick woodlands. To the east, the Porcupine Lake Wilderness preserves a more primitive character, centered around Porcupine Lake and the headwaters of Eighteenmile Creek. Local transport and access are defined by forest routes such as North Sweden Road and Gerties Road, while the southern reaches feature the developed Golf Course and several boat access points. This survey reflects a period focused on resource management and conservation in the Great Divide Ranger District, maintaining the balance between timber production and public recreation in northern Wisconsin.
