About this map

Harris Lake and the surrounding borderlands of Wisconsin and Michigan define this Northwoods landscape, where the Gogebic Co Vilas Co line meets the state boundary. This 2015 survey details a dense network of glacial water bodies and wetlands, including the unique Presque Isle River Flooding and the headwaters of the Little Presque Isle River. The northern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Ottawa National Forest, while the southern area shows more modern residential development along Lakeshore Dr and E Harris Lake Rd.

Hydrographic features like Twin Pups Lakes, Mishike Lake, and Genevieve Lake emphasize the region's character as a lake-country destination. The map provides a clear look at the local infrastructure supporting these remote communities, from established routes like Palmer Rd to smaller residential lanes, reflecting the balance between timber management in the national forest and private recreational lakefront use.
