About this map

Metzger Lake and its surrounding wetlands anchor this glacial landscape in Douglas County, characterized by a dense network of kettle lakes and drainage creeks. The terrain is defined by the hydrography of Upper Ox Cr and Lower Ox Creek, which feed into larger basins like Whiteside Lake and Upper Ox Lake. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Eau Claire River meanders eastward, passing just below Little Simms Lake.

A network of local roads and trails provides access to these water bodies, reflecting the area's development for recreation and seasonal residence. Notable routes such as Pine Ridge Trl, Sutfin Rd, and Twin Lakes Rd weave through the timbered sections, while E Co Rd A serves as a primary east-west corridor in the northern sections. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern configuration of access points to remote waters like Boot Lake and Flat Lake, preserving the contemporary names of family-named landmarks and historical property boundaries.
