2013 Map of Mercer Lake

About this map

Tomahawk River meanders through the heart of this Wisconsin landscape, serving as the central drainage for an area defined by its dense concentration of glacial lakes. In this 2013 survey of Oneida and Vilas Counties, the transition between water and land is marked by numerous basins, including the centrally located Mercer Lake and the southern Bear Lake. To the west, the Squirrel River and Howards Cr feed into the system, while the southwestern corner touches the edge of the Willow Reservoir. The distribution of seasonal roads and residential lanes, such as Kucer Rd and Scalbom Dr, reflects a region shaped by recreational land use and shoreline development. Smaller water bodies like Windowpane Lake and Lake Seventeen dot the wooded terrain, connected by a network of minor tributaries like Kaubashine Creek and Threemile Cr.
