About this map

Namekagon Lake and its intricate shoreline dominate this northern Wisconsin landscape, where numerous peninsulas and islands define the water's edge. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex geography of the glacial lake, featuring Anderson Island, Paines Island, and Champaign Island. The settlement of Namekagon sits near the bridge crossing to Garden Lake, serving as a central point for the local road network that includes Garmisch Resort Rd and Missionary Point Dr.

To the east and south, the terrain transitions into a dense network of smaller water bodies and wetlands, including the appropriately named Ghost Lake and its associated Ghost Creek drainage. Infrastructure in this remote area is specialized, as seen with the Lynch Creek 5 G31.3 Dam along Lynch Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the interaction between the large glacial lakes and the secondary systems like McCloud Lake and Goodwin Lake.
