About this map

The northern borderland of Wisconsin and Michigan centers on the expansive waters of Lac Vieux Desert, where the boundary between Vilas Co and Gogebic Co is delineated. This 2014 survey documents a landscape dominated by the convergence of two major wilderness preserves: the Ottawa National Forest to the north and the Nicolet National Forest to the south. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Imp Lake, Stone Lake, and Tamarack Lake, alongside winding waterways like the S Br Paint River and Taylor Creek.

Evidence of human access is present through forest routes such as Taylor Lk Rd and Indian Village Rd, yet the region remains primarily defined by its natural hydrology. Distinctive points along the shore, including Duck Point, Desolation Point, and islands like Draper Island and Duck Island, highlight the complex shoreline of the primary lake system. This map captures the area's geography as it serves as a critical headwater region for both states.
