About this map

Harshaw and Goodnow serve as the primary hubs in this lake-heavy portion of Oneida County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial water bodies and seasonal wetlands. The Tomahawk River and Bearskin Creek wind through the southern and eastern reaches of the sheet, connecting larger basins like Bearskin Lake and Birch Lake. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern road network, including Us-51, which provides the central spine for access to remote landings and residential developments like Pinewood Air Park.

Land use is clearly divided between protected water resources and the transport corridors that serve them. Small settlements such as McKays Spur hint at the area's older infrastructure, while numerous named lakes—including Heiress Lake, W Mitchell Lake, and the Rocky Run Flowage—underscore the region's character as a recreational and ecological sanctuary. The drainage patterns of Horsehead Cr and Johnson Creek further highlight the complex hydrography that has shaped local settlement for decades.
