About this map

Shadow Lake and the surrounding Nicolet National Forest region are defined by a complex network of glacial kettles and drainage systems. This 2013 survey highlights the intricate hydrology of Oconto County, where the Second S Br Oconto River and First S Br Oconto River wind through a landscape dotted with numerous small bodies of water like Temple Lake, Pat Lake, and the uniquely named Chicken Crop Lake.

The presence of Old Log Siding Ln and Deer Siding Ln provides a direct link to the area's history as a timber-producing region, while Sheep Ranch Rd suggests the agricultural diversification that followed the logging era. These forest service routes and local roads, such as Townsend Dam Rd, illustrate the human infrastructure built to manage and access these remote aquatic resources and timberlands.
