About this map

Starks and Gagen sit within a dense network of glacial water bodies in this Oneida County landscape. The topography is defined by dozens of kettle lakes and reservoirs, ranging from the expansive Stella Lake at the center to the North Pelican Reservoir 71 in the southwest. A complex hydrology of small streams, including Gudegast Cr and Starks Cr, connects these basins through a heavily forested terrain managed by numerous section lines and timber roads like Warehouse Rd.

The presence of Starks Spring and named landmarks such as Piehls Point Rd suggest a history of local lakeside development and seasonal recreation typical of the Northwoods. Infrastructure is concentrated along Co Hwy C, which links the primary settlements. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact placement of specific shorelines and rural access routes like Gagen Rd and Stella Lake Rd before 21st-century shifts in land use or water levels.
