About this map

Squirrel Hill Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over this forested landscape in northern Wisconsin, where the headwaters of the Squirrel River and McGrass Creek drain a complex network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The area is defined by its deep involvement in natural resource industries, most notably the large Cranberry Bog situated between Swamsauger Lake and Lake Marie. In the northern section, prominent water bodies like Squirrel Lake, Great Bass Lake, and Stone Lake dominate the terrain, while the southern boundary is marked by the sprawling reaches of the Willow Reservoir. The presence of Camp Fifteen Springs and a network of logging and access roads, such as Camp Nine Road and Manhardt Road, illustrates the mid-century recreational and commercial utility of the Minocqua region during this period of the early 1970s.
