2013 Map of Powell

About this map

The Lac Du Flambeau Indian Res covers much of the southern portion of this landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways defines the geography of Vilas County. The small settlement of Powell serves as a central point where Wi-182 and Wi-47 meet, situated near the headwaters of Little Bear Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a region shaped by water and recreation, featuring prominent bodies such as Dead Pike Lake, Lower Sugarbush Lake, and the winding Bear River. The northern reaches include the Manitowish Waters Airport, while the south is crisscrossed by specialized routes like Sugarbush Trl and Pokegama Lake Trl, reflecting the area's importance as a seasonal and tribal hub. Local landmarks like Muskesin Lake and Signal Lake are connected by a web of local roads, providing a detailed view of property access and land use within the reservation and surrounding marshes.
