2013 Map of Long Lake

About this map

The settlement of Long Lake serves as a focal point for this section of Florence County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways. The Long Lake Outlet connects the namesake lake to Halsey Lake and Fay Lake to the northeast, while the Popple River and its tributary, the Little Popple River, dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. Transport in the early 21st century remains tied to the local timber and recreation economy, evidenced by the numerous National Forest roads like National Forest Road 2167 and MacArthur-Pine Rd. This area reflects the character of the Wisconsin Northwoods, where drainages like Coldwater Cr and Martin Cr thread through a region of managed forest lands and quiet water bodies such as Bastile Lake.
