About this map

The North Shore backcountry of Lake County is defined by a dense network of watercourses and isolated settlements in this 2010 survey. Small population centers like Highland and Wales are linked by rural routes such as County Hwy-14 and Highland Rd, illustrating the persistence of these inland communities. To the south, the settlements of Lauren, Alger, and York sit near the winding headwaters of the Stewart River and Silver Creek.

A system of drainage and minor impoundments, including the Edwin Hansen Pond Dam, manages the flow through a landscape dominated by the Gooseberry River and its tributary, the Little Gooseberry River. Notable water bodies such as Thomas Lake, Highland Lake, and Stewart Lake are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by logging-era grades and local roads like Waiger Grade and Beaver Dam Rd, reflecting the area's history of timber and rural transit.
