About this map

The settlement of Presque Isle sits at the northern edge of this Northwoods landscape, where the Wisconsin-Michigan state line divides the lake-dotted terrain of Vilas and Gogebic counties. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its dense glacial hydrology, where large water bodies like Crab Lake and Big Crooked Lake are connected by smaller systems such as Rice Creek and Wildcat Creek. The northern portion transition into the Ottawa National Forest, while the southern reaches center around the aviation and tourism hub of the Boulder Junction Payzer Airport.

Secondary roads like Co Rd W and Co Hwy M provide access to the numerous private residences and recreational areas surrounding Armour Lake, Horsehead Lake, and Lynx Lake. The map reveals a complex network of residential lanes, including Sunny Shores Rd and Good Life Ln, indicating the established lakeside development characteristic of this era. The topography is relatively level, dominated by wetlands and intricate shorelines that have shaped the local economy and settlement patterns for generations.
