About this map

The Wisconsin River winds through the glaciated landscape of Vilas County, anchoring a dense network of kettle lakes and flowages. In the eastern portion of the map, the settlement of Conover sits at the junction of Pioneer Cr and Muskrat Cr, serving as a gateway to the surrounding recreational waters. The terrain is defined by its significant hydrography, including the expansive Stormy Lake, the twin basins of Upper Buckatabon Lake and Lower Buckatabon Lake, and the sprawling Little Tamarack Flowage.

Smaller, uniquely named water bodies like Nudist Lake, Pearl Lake, and Blueberry Lake dot the forested intervals between established routes like Rummels Rd and Baker Lake Rd. Numerous trails, such as the Vilas Co Game Trl and Heart Lake Game Trl, indicate the area's transition into managed wilderness and conservation lands. The map also captures the headwaters of several drainage systems, including Portage Cr flowing from Big Portage Lake, illustrating the complex water table of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
