About this map

Star Lake sits at the heart of this Vilas County glacial landscape, serving as a central hub for the small settlement and the surrounding network of fire lanes and forest roads. The area is defined by an intricate cluster of water bodies, including the large Lake Laura, Plum Lake, and the smaller Little Star Lake. These lakes are connected by a system of minor drainages such as Salsich Cr and Stella Cr.

Deep in the northern timberlands, natural springs like Siphon Springs and Goodyear Springs provide unique points of interest for those studying the hydrology of the Highland Lake District. The road network, featuring names like Dorothy Dunn Rd and Camp Two Rd, reflects a history of local navigation through the dense woods and around wetlands. The map captures the quiet character of the Wisconsin Northwoods, where the land is carved more by water and forest than by urban development.
