2010 Map of Metzger Lake

About this map

Solon Springs Municipal Airport and Camp Bovey anchor the northern landscape of this Douglas County region, where glacial kettle lakes and wetland drainages dominate the geography. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Metzger Lake, the Twin Lakes, and Simms Lake, which feed into various branches of Upper Ox Creek and Lower Ox Creek. This area of Northwest Wisconsin shows a transition from clustered forest recreation to the more open drainage of the Eau Claire River seen at the southern edge. Local transportation is facilitated by named rural routes such as S County Hwy A and S Simms Lake Rd, providing access to isolated camps and waterfront properties. The map captures the specialized land use of the early 21st century, balancing municipal aviation infrastructure with seasonal recreation at sites like Upper Ox Lake and Swenson Lake.
