2013 Map of Namekagon Lake

About this map

Namekagon Lake serves as the centerpiece of this northern Wisconsin landscape, its irregular shoreline defined by numerous landmarks such as Missionary Point, Juneks Point, and Eagle Point. The 2013 survey illustrates the developed recreation and residential footprint around the water, including Paines Island and Champaign Island, while documenting the surrounding forest management through an extensive network of Forest Service roads like Forest Rd 328 and Forest Rd 331. The small community of Namekagon is situated near the lake's eastern shore, providing a focal point for local commerce and navigation. Beyond the primary lake, the map reveals a dense hydrologic network including Ghost Lake, Cranberry Lake, and Tank Lake, along with watercourses like Castle Cr and Ghost Cr. The presence of the Old Grade Rd in the northeast corner hints at the region's logging history and previous transportation routes.
