About this map

Harris Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this northern Wisconsin landscape in a region defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways. The West Branch Presque Isle River and Little Presque Isle River snake through the terrain, connecting a dense cluster of named water bodies including Grant Lake, Moraine Lake, and the uniquely named Twin Pups Lakes. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape largely dedicated to seasonal recreation and forestry, evidenced by the Henry Lake Campground and a network of specialized routes like Logging Rd and Mouse Trap Rd.

Access to these remote waters is facilitated by a grid of local roads and USFS routes such as USFS 8120 Rd. Small residential clusters and docks are visible along the shores of Nell Lake and Genevieve Lake, while the eastern portion of the map remains more secluded with Mink Lake and Bluejay Lake set amidst the northern woods. The mapping detail provides a clear view of the transition from open water to marshland along Harris Creek.
