2018 Map of Manitowish Lake

About this map

Powell Marsh dominates the central-western landscape of this Vilas County region, providing a vast natural break between the dense clusters of glacial lakes. To the north, the waters of Manitowish Lake, Spider Lake, and Island Lake form a connected aquatic network, while the Trout River serves as a primary artery winding through the wetlands toward Wild Rice Lake. This area of the Lac du Flambeau reservation exhibits a distinct pattern of seasonal and residential development, with numerous named access points like Boat Landing Rd and Catfish Point on White Sand Lake. Local geography is further defined by smaller basins such as Ike Walton Lake, Big Crooked Lake, and the trio of West Ellerson Lake, Middle Ellerson Lake, and East Ellerson Lake in the southeast. The survey details a complex system of local connectors, including Ave of Birches and Cranberry Blvd, reflecting the area's transition into a modern recreation and conservation landscape.
