The boundary between Vilas Co and Oneida Co cuts through a dense landscape of glacial kettle lakes and wetland depressions in this late-1930s survey. This era reveals a region transitioning from its logging roots toward a recreation and power-generation economy, evidenced by the Otter Rapids Dam and the nearby Otter Rapids Golf Course. The settlement at Robbins serves as a local hub south of the Eagle River, while the Chicago and North Western railroad provides a vital link for the scattered lake communities.
