About this map

Middle Eau Claire Lake and Lower Eau Claire Lake dominate this glaciated landscape along the border of Douglas and Bayfield counties. The area is defined by a dense cluster of water bodies, ranging from the large expanses of Ellison Lake and Bony Lake to smaller basins like Jack Pine Lake and Paradise Lake. The Eau Claire River meanders through the southern portion of the sheet, providing a vital drainage corridor for the surrounding wetlands.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Barnes Memorial Cem tucked near the northeastern shoreline of Sand Bar Lake. The map reveals a network of rural routes and forest roads, including Beauregard Lake Rd and Ellison Lake Rd, which provide access to seasonal residences and boat landings. This 2018 survey captures the region's character as a primary recreational and natural resource hub in northern Wisconsin, where the lake-to-land ratio remains exceptionally high.
