About this map

The Wolf River defines the hydrologic character of this northern Wisconsin landscape, connecting a complex chain of water bodies including Upper Post Lake and Lower Post Lake. At the center of the sheet, the settlement of Post Lake serves as a focal point for the region's recreational and natural resources, featuring a Public Access point and Wayside Park Boat Ramp. The surrounding terrain is a mosaic of wetlands and smaller lakes such as Miniwakan Lake, Aninaun Lake, and Bishop Lake, which includes a dedicated Boat Ramp for local access.

Conservation efforts are evident through the vast Wolf River State Fishery Area which protects the river's riparian corridor. This 1970s survey illustrates a rural landscape where narrow roads like Pratt Junction Road provide the primary connections through the townships of Schoepke, Nashville, and Elcho. The mapping of unique features like Knoke Spring and the Spider Creek Flowage offers detailed insights for those studying the specific water systems of Langlade and Oneida counties.
