About this map

Lake Tomahawk sits as the primary hub of this glaciated northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Wisconsin River winds past the Rainbow Reservoir and through the Rainbow Rapids. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways and glacial kettle lakes, including Eagle Lake, Horsehead Lake, and the expansive Rainbow Flowage to the northeast. Human imprints are concentrated around the settlement, featuring the Lake Tomahawk Lookout Tower and the Dolhun Airstrip.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Wilderness Rest Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle and the Newbold Memorial Cemetery further southeast. The map documents a landscape heavily influenced by water management, with structures like the Rainbow Reservoir 2WP185 Dam and the Pickerel Control 2WP185 Dam regulating the flow of the river and its various connected pools such as Pickerel Lake and Pier Lake.
