About this map

The Wisconsin River carves a deep path through this lake-studded landscape, dominated by the industrial legacy of the Hat Rapids 1903c239 Dam. This area south of Rhinelander is characterized by a dense concentration of water bodies, from the prominent Lake Julia and Timber Lake in the north to smaller, sequestered basins like Lassig Lake and Hilderbrand Lake. The drainage network is complex, defined by the winding courses of Noisy Creek, Heal Creek, and Cuenin Creek.

Small settlements provide a sense of local history and community, including Crescent Corner near the river and the southern hamlets of Jeffris and Bundy. The landscape reveals a pattern of rural development where roads skirt numerous named wetlands and lakes, such as Emma Lake and Alice Lake, reflecting the region's glacial geography and its importance for recreation and small-scale industry at the start of the 21st century.
