2013 Map of Otter Lake

About this map

Otter Lake and the surrounding Forest County wetlands define this portion of the Wisconsin Northwoods. The landscape is a dense network of glacial water bodies and meandering streams, including Indian Lake, Seal Lake, and the winding N Br Oconto River. The presence of several spring systems, such as Johnson Spring and Camp One Springs, points to the region's complex hydrology. Human activity is marked by a legacy of forest management and recreation, evidenced by Camp Ten and a road system that includes the descriptive Ferry Crossing Ranch Rd. The map also traces the upper reaches of the Rat River, illustrating the watershed divide where numerous creeks like Kufner Cr and Mexico Cr originate. This survey serves as a primary reference for the topography of the Wabeno area, showing the intricate drainage patterns before they join larger river systems.
