About this map

The Hunting River flows through the center of this Northwoods landscape, connecting a dense network of glacial lakes across the border of Oneida and Langlade counties. The community of Elcho serves as a central hub, situated near the shores of Otter Lake and Nelson Lake. Further north, the expansive Pelican Lake reaches into the frame, featuring Indian Point and Antigo Island as prominent landmarks in Guths Bay.

Early 21st-century infrastructure follows the historical path of the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor, which links Summit Lake in the south to Pratt Junction in the north. Genealogists will find the Enterprise Cem located near Enterprise Lake on the western edge of the quadrangle. The map details numerous named water bodies such as Jordan Lake, Hilson Lake, and the connected Upper First Lake and Lower First Lake, illustrating the region's character as a prominent destination for recreation and lakeside settlement.
