About this map

The Eau Claire River and its chain of lakes anchor this Douglas County landscape, where the interconnected waters of Middle Eau Claire Lake, Lower Eau Claire Lake, and Upper Eau Claire Lake define the local geography. This high-altitude perspective from the early 21st century reveals a territory dominated by glacial hydrology, with smaller basins like Beauregard Lake and Ellison Lake dotting the northern reaches.

Strategic vantage points such as the Highland Lookout Tower indicate the importance of forest management in this timber-rich region. The road network, including County Hwy-N and County Hwy-Y, provides access to numerous lakeside developments and landings. For researchers, the map details the intricate shoreline of Cranberry Lake and the smaller, secluded waters like Mimi Lake and High Life Lake, illustrating how the landscape supports both recreation and natural resource protection.
