About this map

Katinka Village sits at the heart of this Northwoods landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of glacial lakes and winding waterways. The 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by recreational and seasonal settlements, such as Camp Jorn on the shores of Rest Lake. Navigation through the dense forest is facilitated by a web of local roads and paths, including Papoose Landing Rd and Island View Rd, which provide access to secluded water bodies like Hiawatha Lake and Noseeum Lake.

The hydrography of Vilas County is on full display, from the broad reach of Big Lake and Van Vliet Lake to the moving waters of the Manitowish River and the S Br Presque Isle River. Notable landmarks like Keith Island and Fox Island emerge from the larger lakes, while smaller basins like Little Papoose Lake and Red Lake highlight the high density of kettle lakes characteristic of this Wisconsin lake country.
