About this map

Conover sits at the eastern edge of this glacial landscape, where the Wisconsin River begins its winding course southward through a dense network of lakes and marshes. The terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring large bodies like Stormy Lake and Big Portage Lake alongside smaller, uniquely named features such as Nudist Lake and Portage Spring. Significant water management is evident at the Little Tamarack Flowage and the Jo Reservoir, illustrating how the region's natural drainage has been modified over time.

Legacy tracts of the Vilas Co Frst encompass much of the area, punctuated by seasonal settlements like Ramah Camp and isolated landmarks such as Colin Island. The transportation network relies heavily on county routes and forest roads like Rummels Rd and Tower Rd, which provide access to the numerous lakefronts. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the recreational and natural character of the Northwoods before more recent development, documenting the traditional drainage patterns of Tamarack Creek and Buckatabon Cr.
