2023 Map of Smoky Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Smoky Lake sits at the heart of this Northwoods landscape, straddling the state line where Ottawa National Forest in Michigan meets the Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin. The map captures a water-rich terrain of glacial kettle lakes and winding creeks, including Ishkote Lake, Big Sand Lake, and the headwaters of the Deerskin River. A network of specialized forest roads and trails, such as Mail Route Road and the Vilas Co Snowmobile Trl, provides access to these timberlands and recreational waters. Along the southern reaches, Elvoy Springs feeds into Elvoy Creek, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Iron and Vilas county borderlands. The presence of features like the Big Sand Lake Boat Landing Rd highlights the area's long-standing transition from industrial timber harvesting toward seasonal residence and outdoor recreation.
