About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, managed through the Washburn District Ranger. This northern Wisconsin terrain is defined by a dense concentration of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, connected by a network of forest roads and hiking paths. The North Country Trail winds through the northern section, passing near Lake Ruth and Camp Two Lake, while the southern reaches are marked by more secluded waters like Wilderness Lake and Nancy Lake. In the west, the landscape transitions to a more open pattern of ridges and depressions, where West Eightmile Lake and East Eightmile Lake sit along the path of Webster Road. This survey, updated with 1980s forest service data, captures a quiet era of recreational and timber management before modern development altered these shorelines.
