About this map

Ottawa National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the border between Gogebic County, Michigan, and Vilas County, Wisconsin, cuts through a dense network of glacial lakes. The terrain is defined by its hydrography, featuring significant water bodies like Tenderfoot Lake and Plum Lake which have long served as focal points for regional recreation and seasonal residency.

Modern access is maintained through a web of local routes such as County Highway B and Fishtrap Lake Road, which connect various shorelines and landings. The naming conventions of the area, from Killarney Point to Moccasin Lake, reflect a mix of cultural influences common to the Northwoods. Small islands and peninsulas, such as Frog Island in High Lake, illustrate the intricate shoreline patterns that attract researchers of the region's environmental and social history.
