2011 Map of Lake Gordon

About this map

The Peshtigo River meanders through the southwestern corner of this Forest County landscape, anchoring a wilderness area defined by glacial lakes and a complex network of forest service roads. The settlement at Bonneval sits along the southern edge, while the Newald Lookout Tower provides a high-point reference to the north. This 2011 survey highlights the recreational and hydrological character of the region, featuring significant water bodies such as Lake Gordon and Lake Laura, which are serviced by the Laura-Gordon Lakes Campground. Numerous small streams, including Simpson Creek, Hanson Creek, and Haymeadow Creek, drain the heavily timbered terrain. The abundance of forest roads, such as National Forest Road 2386 and Newald Tower Rd, underscores the area's importance for timber management and outdoor access.
