2013 Map of Roberts Lake

About this map

Roberts Lake serves as a central landmark in this glaciated landscape of Forest County, surrounded by a dense network of smaller water bodies such as Ludington Lake, Eds Lake, and Jungle Lake. The settlement patterns recorded here include the small community of Woodlawn and the uniquely named Pig Snout Siding, reflecting the area's history of rail-and-timber transport. In the southern reaches, the Lily River flows past Choate near the intersection of State Hwy 52, carving a path through a terrain defined by wetlands and pocketed lakes like Bogbrook Lake and Arbutus Lake. The map details an intricate system of local roads and shore landings, such as E Shore Ln and W Shore Ln on Ground Hemlock Lake, illustrating the transition from wilderness to recreational and residential development in this part of northern Wisconsin.
