2011 Map of Tenderfoot Lake

About this map

Moosehead Lake Campground sits at the northern edge of a dense glacial lake district along the Wisconsin-Michigan border. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by complex hydrology, where the East Branch Presque Isle River and Ontonagon River drain a network of named water bodies like Tenderfoot Lake and Kinwamakwad Lake. The transition from Michigan into Vilas County is marked by a shifting grid of forest service roads and local routes such as Rainbow Lodge Rd and Fishtrap Lake Rd. Notable landmarks like Killarney Point and Frog Island suggest a long-standing recreational culture centered on these shorelines. The intricate shoreline of Plum Lake and Sanborn Lake highlights the post-glacial topography that has historically shaped local land use and seasonal habitation in the Boulder Junction area.
