About this map

Cisco Lake and Thousand Island Lake dominate this 2011 survey, illustrating the complex glacial hydrography along the Michigan-Wisconsin border. The intricate network of interconnected waterways, including Lindsley Lake, Fishhawk Lake, and West Bay Lake, shows a landscape defined by water and recreational access. Notable shore features such as Meadowwoods Point, Indian Point, and Belle Island suggest a long history of seasonal habitation and navigation.

Away from the larger lakes, the Jute Lake Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark for forest management in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local transportation is facilitated by named routes like S Cisco Lake Rd and Tender Foot Rd, which navigate the fragmented terrain between smaller basins such as Guides Lake and Dumbbell Lake. The map serves as a contemporary record of these borderland lakes before significant shoreline changes or further development.
