2010 Map of Powell

About this map

The settlement of Powell serves as a central point in this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the Lac Du Flambeau Indian Res and the Nth Highland Am Legion St Fr meet. The geography is defined by an intricate network of glacial lakes and waterways, including the Bear River and Sugarbush Creek. Water bodies of various sizes, such as the large Dead Pike Lake and the smaller Three Stepping Stones Lakes, dominate the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. Transportation is facilitated by a grid of local roads like Powell Rd and River Rd, while the Manitowish Waters Airport in the northeast corner provides regional air access. This 2010 survey illustrates the balance between managed forest lands, tribal reservation territory, and the water-dependent infrastructure of Vilas County.
