About this map

Manitowish Lake and its surrounding chain of waters dominate this landscape in Vilas County, Wisconsin. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted lakeside culture, with Manito Island and Three Stepping Stones Lakes serving as central landmarks. To the south, the expansive Powell Marsh provides a sharp contrast to the dense network of named lakes, such as Big Crooked Lake and Wild Rice Lake.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the Pine Lawn Cem in the north and numerous family-named roads like Kassien Ln and Fitzgerald Ln. The Trout River and Gresham Creek connect the larger bodies of water, while landmarks like Catfish Point on White Sand Lake define the jagged shorelines. This survey captures a modern look at the region's enduring geography of interconnected glacial lakes and marshes.
