2019 Map of Imp Lake

About this map

Katakitekon Indian Village sits prominently on the northern shore of Lac Vieux Desert, a massive water body straddling the border between Michigan and Wisconsin. This 2019 survey documents the complex geography of the high north woods, where the Ottawa National Forest and Nicolet National Forest meet at the state line. The map highlights a specialized network of forest trails and interpretive sites, such as the Imp Lake Interpretive area and the Scaup Lake Hunter grounds, indicating a landscape managed for both preservation and recreational access. Water defines the region, from the flowing Paint Wild and Scenic River in the east to the isolated reaches of Taylor Lake and Imp Lake further north. Notable terrain features like Draper Island and Desolation Point break the surface of the large border lake, while numerous small creeks like Lobische Creek and Imp Creek weave through the timbered wetlands.
