About this map

Star Lake and its surrounding glacial kettle lakes define this northern Wisconsin landscape in the heart of Vilas County. The settlement of Star Lake is positioned on a peninsula of land between its namesake water body and Little Star Lake, serving as a central hub for a network of forest roads and trails. The map reveals an intricate hydrographic system where water bodies such as Lake Laura, Ballard Lake, and Plum Lake are interconnected by small waterways like Star Cr and Stella Creek.

Remote springs and wetlands are scattered throughout the terrain, including Siphon Springs in the north and Rainbow Spring near the southern boundary. The local infrastructure is geared toward wilderness access, featuring specialized paths such as the Langley Lake Game Trail and the Decker Lake Game Trail. This detailed study of the region's topography and drainage patterns is essential for understanding the ecological and recreational character of this lake-heavy corridor.
