About this map

Willow Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this Oneida County region, where the Rice River and Swamsauger Creek feed into its extensive shoreline. The area is defined by a dense network of water bodies, including Pier Lake, Willow Lake, and Muskellunge Lake, connected by forest roads and fire lanes such as Moran Fire Ln and Kelly Fire Ln.

Genealogists and local historians will note the presence of Saint Francis Cem located near the intersection of S Pier Lake Rd and Willow Rd. The map illustrates the hydrological complexity of the Northwoods, featuring the Willow River cascading through Willow Falls and Willow Rapids. This 2022 survey documents the contemporary state of these wetlands and glacial lakes, capturing the transition from the Little Rice River to the Little Somo River in the south.
