2018 Map of Kempster

About this map

Summit Lake and the surrounding glacial kettle landscape dominate this portion of Langlade County, where the Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through a dense network of water bodies and wetlands. The settlement of Kempster sits along the southern edge of this cluster, which includes notably named features like Greater Bass Lake, Deep Wood Lake, and the winding Shoestring Lakes. Northward, the village of Koepenick and the Lakeside Cem near the northern shore of the primary lake provide focal points for local genealogy and history. The terrain is characterized by complex hydrology, from the vast Bogus Swamp to secluded basins like Noboken Lake and Water Power Lake. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape largely shaped by its glacial legacy, where historical road patterns like Koszark Rd and Koepenick Rd connect dispersed lakeside developments and timbered tracts.
