About this map

Eagle River serves as the primary hub of this glaciated landscape in Vilas County, where the Wisconsin River meanders through a dense network of kettle lakes and wetlands. The map details the transition from the city's concentrated street grid, including N Railroad St, to the sprawling recreational and residential areas surrounding Boot Lake and Rice Lake. The prevalence of game trails, such as McLeod Lake Game Trl and Katie Lake Game Trl, indicates a region deeply tied to its natural environment and traditional land use.

Transportation infrastructure like the Eagle River Union Airport and numerous rural routes like Co Rd G provide access to the various water bodies, including Snipe Lake and Nelson Lake. The boundary between Vilas and Oneida counties is clearly marked in the southern portion of the sheet near Lake Aidenn. The intricate shoreline of these lakes, from the broad reaches of Sunset Lake to the smaller Bullfrog Lake, illustrates the complex post-glacial hydrology that has shaped the region's development.
