About this map

Eagle River anchors the western edge of this 2018 survey, serving as the gateway to a dense labyrinth of glacial lakes and waterways in northern Wisconsin. The landscape is defined by the high concentration of interconnected water bodies, including the central expanse of Eagle Lake and the branching reaches of Scattering Rice Lake. The northern section is dominated by the Nicolet National Forest, where the Deerskin River and Little Deerskin River wind through protected timberlands.

Evidence of the region's recreational economy is visible in the network of local roads and designated paths like the Vilas Co Snowmobile (Snow) trail. From the shoreline of Yellow Birch Lake to the secluded Caspian Lake near the northern boundary, the map details a complex hydrologic system where traditional naming conventions—such as Loon Lake, Otter Lake, and Beaver Cr—reflect the local fauna. The transition between Vilas and Oneida counties is marked across the southern waters of Cranberry Lake.
