About this map

Eagle River anchors this 2015 survey, which details a landscape dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways at the border of Vilas and Oneida counties. The western portion of the Nicolet National Forest covers the northeast, where the Little Deerskin River and Sucker Cr feed into a series of larger basins. The hydrologic connectivity of the region is evident in the chain including Scattering Rice Lake, Eagle Lake, and Catfish Lake, which are separated by narrow peninsulas and connected by navigable channels.

Residential development and recreational access are marked by a dense grid of local roads like Shangrila Rd and Chain O Lakes Rd, providing access to smaller water bodies such as Harmony Lake, Dollar Lake, and Yellow Birch Lake. The transition from the more settled shoreline of Silver Lake to the protected forest lands illustrates the balance between the area's timber history and its identity as a premier Northwoods destination.
