About this map

Lyman Lake and its surrounding wetlands define this Douglas County landscape, where the headwaters of several major northern Wisconsin drainage systems originate. The terrain is a network of small glacial lakes and meandering watercourses, including the Little Amnicon River and Amnicon River flowing northward, while the Moose River and E Fork Moose River drain toward the south. Prominent elevations such as Pikes Peak and Pikes Peak S rise above the low-lying marshlands and thickets that dominate much of the area.

Modern recreation and local transport are etched into the map via the Wild Rivers State Trl, which cuts across the northeastern corner. The infrastructure consists primarily of a grid of rural roads like Moose Lake Rd and Tri Lakes Rd, providing access to isolated water bodies including Three-Bucks Lakes, Deer Lake, and Moose Lake. This survey illustrates the contemporary balance of protected natural areas and the dispersed residential footprint typical of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
