2022 Map of Horsehead Lake

About this map

Bear Lake and the winding Bear River dominate this pocket of the North Woods, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The area is intersected by several forest roads and trails, including the Wasson Lake Forest Rd and the Napolean Lake Trl, which provide access to more remote waters like Napoleon Lake and Wilson Lake. The map illustrates a largely uninhabited wilderness character, with the Lily Pond and Rainbow Lake tucked into the complex hydrology between the river and the larger lake basins. This survey serves as a clear guide to the region's topography, highlighting the subtle elevation changes that separate drainages such as Little Bear Lake from Little Wasson Lake.
