About this map

Glacial kettle lakes and dense forest service roads define this portion of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Bayfield County. The settlement of Topside serves as a central point where Us-2 intersects with local routes like Old Hwy 2 Rd and the recreational Try-County Corridor. This area is characterized by an incredibly high density of water bodies, ranging from the larger Hart Lake and Long Lake to smaller, distinctively named features like Bladder Lake, Sawdust Lake, and Honey Lake.

A notable landmark is the Iron River Lookout Tower, positioned to monitor the surrounding timberlands. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads, such as Forest Rd 242 and Loon Lake Rd, which provide access to these isolated waters. The naming conventions, including Buskey Bay and McCarry Lake, reflect the local history and family names associated with the development of northern Wisconsin’s lake country.
