2018 Map of Powell

About this map

Powell sits at the heart of this Northwoods landscape, where a dense network of water bodies and wetlands transitions between the Iron and Vilas county line. The terrain is defined by its immense hydrological diversity, ranging from the expansive Powell Marsh to significant lakes such as Dead Pike Lake and Sherman Lake. The Bear River meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous smaller basins like Fat Lake and Munnomin Lake. This region shows a complex system of local access, with named paths like E River Trl and Sugarbush Trl providing passage through the wooded lakefronts. The presence of the Manitowish Waters Airport in the northeast corner and the cluster of seasonal residences along Sandy Beach Lake highlight the area's development around its natural water resources.
