About this map

Glacial lake basins and winding river systems dominate this portion of Oneida County, where the Wisconsin River carves a complex, meander-heavy path through the landscape. The small settlement of McNaughton and the community of Newbold serve as the primary hubs for this water-rich region. The map captures a dense network of named water bodies, including the large East Horsehead Lake and the smaller Alva Lake, which highlight the area's history as a recreational and timber destination.

Interpreting the human impact on this environment reveals a specialized infrastructure designed for both aviation and water management, seen at the Pine Grove Airport and the Spruce Lake E1176.2 Dam. Creeks like Newbold Creek and Goodyear Creek feed into the larger basins, while smaller lakes such as Hodag Lake—named for the local folklore legend—and Mildred Lake dot the spaces between the major drainage routes, showing the intricate hydrology of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
