2015 Map of Spider Lake

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, where a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways defines the regional character. Large bodies of water like Spider Lake and Lost Land Lake are central features, surrounded by smaller, uniquely named basins such as One Shoe Lake, Sickles Lake, and Whiplash Lake. This area of Sawyer County is characterized by a mix of established routes like State Hwy 77 and primitive tracks including W Boys Camp Rd and various Forest Service roads. The presence of Dead Creek Spring and the Tiger Cat Flowage reflects the complex hydrography of the Upper Chippewa River basin. Historically significant for its timber and recreation, the map details the intricate shoreline of Mukwonago Lake and the wetlands around Camp Four Lakes, providing a clear record of the Northwoods geography in the early twenty-first century.
