2013 Map of Shell Lake

About this map

Shell Lake anchors the northern portion of this landscape, its expansive shoreline dotted with recreational and municipal developments including the Municipal Campground and the Shell Lake Municipal Airport. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense network of kettle lakes and drainages characteristic of the region, ranging from the isolated waters of Hogback Lake and Butternut Lake in the south to the larger Round Lake and Long Lake further north. The settlement of Barronett sits near the southwestern corner, positioned along the transportation corridor of Old Highway 63. Water management and natural flow are evident in the presence of Mill Pond along the Yellow River, while the headwaters of the N Fork Clam River snake through the western woodlands. The map also traces the Ice Age National Scenic Trail as it winds past Grassy Lake and Boyer Cr, highlighting the area's glacial legacy.
