About this map

Glacial lakes and meandering waterways dominate this landscape in the northern Wisconsin lakelands, where the small settlements of Starks and Gagen sit along the primary transport corridors. The hydrography of the region is intricate, defined by larger bodies like Stella Lake and Spur Lake, and an extensive network of drainage including Gudegast Creek and the long course of Twin Lakes Creek.

Evidence of historical land management and early 20th-century infrastructure appears in the southwestern corner at the North Pelican Lake 1909C361 Dam. To the northeast, the Piehl Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark overlooking the timber and wetlands. This 2010 survey highlights the persistent rural character of Oneida County, showing how minor settlements like Starks remain centers of gravity amidst a landscape largely shaped by its hydrology, from the small Mud Lake to the headwaters of Haymeadow Creek.
