2005 Map of Gates Lake

About this map

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this Price County landscape, defining a region where water and wetlands dictate the pattern of human use. The map reveals a complex aquatic network, from the Upper Squaw Creek Wetland Habitat Area to the distinctive Cranberry Bog in the northwest. These protected environments within the Squaw Creek Wildlife Management Area illustrate the 21st-century focus on conservation and managed recreation. Small recreational outposts like Hicks Landing and various boat ramps at Sailor Lake and Solberg Lake provide the primary points of access for locals and visitors alike. The terrain is further marked by the Medford Park Falls Ranger District, showcasing how forestry management and habitat preservation overlap in the town of Worcester.
