2018 Map of Hart Lake

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest defines the character of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the dense concentration of glacial lakes shapes the local geography and road network. The small settlement of Topside serves as a central point between several major water bodies, including Topside Lake, Wentzel Lake, and the larger Loon Lake. Local roads such as Battleax Grade and Tripp Gravel Pit Rd cut through the timberland, reflecting the region's historic ties to the logging industry and resource extraction. In the northern section, Valley View Cem stands near Bailey Lake, providing a clear focal point for genealogical research. The southern portion is dominated by interconnected basins like Hart Lake, Lake Millicent, and Crooked Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of Bayfield County’s lake country.
