About this map

Crandon serves as the gateway to this lake-rich region of Forest County, situated near the western edge of the Nicolet National Forest. The landscape is dominated by glacial water bodies, most notably the expansive Lake Lucerne and the nearby Wabikon Lake. Higher ground is marked by Sugarbush Hill, while the complex hydrology of the area is further defined by the headwaters of the S Br Peshtigo River, Rat River, and Indian River.

Evidence of local infrastructure and recreation is seen in the naming of Keith Siding Rd, suggesting a history tied to the regional timber or rail industries. A network of local roads and trails, such as the Snowmobile Trail, highlights the importance of the forest for seasonal outdoor activities. Smaller lakes including Riley Lake, Hardwood Lake, and Popple Lake are scattered throughout the northern woods, illustrating the typical kettle-and-moraine topography of northern Wisconsin.
