About this map

The Wolf River anchors this drainage basin in Langlade County, where its path is significantly shaped by water management structures. The settlement of Post Lake sits near the critical junction of Upper Post Lake and Lower Post Lake, where the Upper Post Lake 1866C352 Dam regulates flow between these major water bodies. This network of glacial lakes and slow-moving creeks reveals a landscape defined by its hydrography, featuring complex systems like the Spider Creek Flowage and the Spider Creek 2WP1403 Dam.

Smaller, distinct basins such as Bishop Lake, Wamin Lake, and Aninnan Lake are connected by a web of named tributaries including Walczak Creek and Squaw Creek. To the south, the terrain transitions toward the Hunting River and Pickerel Creek, illustrating the interconnected nature of these northern Wisconsin wetlands. For the researcher, the map provides precise locations for contemporary water control landmarks and small inland lakes like Miniwakan Lake and Loon Lake.
