2010 Map of Fence Lake

About this map

Fence Lake dominates the central landscape of this northern Wisconsin lake country, serving as the focal point for a dense network of interconnected waterways and glacial basins. The small settlement of Marlands sits at the lake's eastern shore, marking a point of residential development amidst a terrain defined by complex hydrography. The map details a labyrinth of water bodies including Shishebogama Lake, Gunlock Lake, and the Whitefish Lake system, which are part of a larger aquatic ecosystem drained by the Tomahawk River and Mishonagon Creek. These water features suggest a region shaped by recreational tourism and seasonal residency, where the land-to-water ratio is nearly equal. Local roads navigate the narrow land bridges between basins like Placid Twin Lakes and Wyandock Lake, illustrating how the physical geography of the Lac du Flambeau area dictates modern transport and settlement patterns.
