About this map

Mercer Lake and the winding course of the Tomahawk River define this Northwoods landscape in Oneida County. The area is characterized by an intricate network of glacial lakes and wetlands, connected by waterways like Squirrel River and Kaubashine Creek. The shoreline of Willow Reservoir marks the southwestern reaches of the map, while numerous smaller bodies of water such as Bellmore Lake, Lake Seventeen, and Blue Lake are scattered throughout the timbered terrain.

Lakeshore development is visible through a complex system of local roads, including Mercer Lake Rd and Blue Lake Rd, which serve seasonal residences and recreational sites like Camp Pinemere. This 2018 survey captures the region's modern character as a premier destination for water-based activities, showing how residential growth has clustered around natural landmarks like Bear Lake and Franklin Lake while preserving the primitive flowage of the river systems.
