About this map

Glacial waters and dense woodlands define this portion of Oneida County, where the Pelican River carves a winding path toward the south. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of kettle lakes, including the expansive George Lake and smaller bodies like Clear Lake, Midget Lake, and Perch Lake. These water features, joined by George Cr and Haymeadow Creek, represent the classic Northwoods topography utilized by local recreational and timber interests.

South of the river, the County Forest (Enterprise Recreation Area) preserves a vast tract of wetland and forest. Numerous gravel pits scattered near Bergman and the northern shore of George Lake indicate the local extractive industry of the era. The presence of Shingle Mill Lake and Six Camp Creek alludes to the region's historic logging roots, while more remote basins like Alligator Lake and Little Bass Lake remain tucked within the protected Enterprise boundary.
