2015 Map of Shadow Lake

About this map

Mountain and the surrounding woodlands of the Nicolet National Forest define this landscape in Oconto County. The area is characterized by a dense network of glacial water bodies, including Shadow Lake, Deadman Lake, and the uniquely named Chicken Foot Lake. These lakes are connected by a web of Forest Service roads and local tracks like Old Log Siding Ln, reflecting the region's history with the timber industry and later recreational development. The hydrography is dominated by the branches of the Oconto River, with the Second S Br Oconto River and First S Br Oconto River carving through the terrain alongside landmarks such as Hells Acre Springs. Local land use is evidenced by descriptive road names like Sheep Ranch Rd, pointing to the varied agricultural and forestry activities that have shaped this part of northern Wisconsin.
