2022 Map of Fence Lake

About this map

The sprawling glacial waters of Fence Lake dominate this northern woodland landscape, situated at the border of Vilas and Oneida counties. The settlement of Marlands sits on the eastern shore of the main lake, positioned among a dense network of smaller bodies of water including Bolton Lake and Wishow Lake. The southern portion of the map reveals a transition into the Tomahawk River watershed, where Shishebogama Lake and Gunlock Lake create a complex shoreline that historically facilitated seasonal movement through the Northwoods. This 2022 survey documents the modern layout of recreation-based infrastructure, featuring numerous named points like Thoroughfare Point and Strawberry Point Dr. Local genealogists and land researchers can trace property access via dozens of specialized roads such as Pokegama Lake Trl and Squirrel Lake Rd, which connect the numerous lakefront developments and isolated springs like Mercer Springs.
