About this map

The settlement of Summit Lake serves as a northern focal point in this portion of Langlade County, situated near the Lakeside Cem and a dense cluster of glacial water bodies. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of lakes including Greater Bass Lake, Deep Wood Lake, and the uniquely named Shanty Bottom Lake, reflecting the region's post-glacial topography. To the south, the small communities of Koepenick and Kempster anchor the local road network, which includes Co Hwy J and Knight Rd.

A significant recreational and geological feature, the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, winds through the center of the map, crossing Hazel Green Rd as it traverses the hummocky terrain. The presence of numerous smaller features like Bogus Swamp and Water Power Lake suggests a complex drainage pattern typical of the Wisconsin northwoods. This survey provides a clear view of the area's rural development and conservation corridors at the mid-decade mark.
