About this map

Moose Lake and the surrounding Northwoods landscape define this 2011 survey, showing a complex network of glacial lakes and river systems. The West Fork Chippewa River serves as the central artery, controlled by several structures including the Moose Lake 1911 C540 Dam and the Ghost Lake WP307 Dam. These water management features illustrate the region's long-standing relationship with timber and power, dating back over a century as evidenced by the dam's 1911 designation.

Remote recreational sites like the Chippewa River Campground and Moose Lake Campground are connected by a web of Forest Service roads, such as Forest Rd 164 and Forest Rd 204. Numerous named islands including Folson Island, Wolf Island, and Paradise Island dot the larger bodies of water, while the West Fork Lookout Tower provides a fixed landmark for fire surveillance near Snipe Lake. The map details a quiet, forested environment where the Teal River and Lynch Creek feed into a series of primary fishing and boating destinations.
