2011 Map of Tom Lake

About this map

Judge Magney State Park anchors the southern reaches of this landscape, where the Brule River and Flute Reed River wind through the North Shore hinterlands. The area is defined by an intricate network of waterways and timber access routes, including Tom Lake Rd and County Hwy 16, which connect the numerous glacial lakes. Higher elevations are marked by Farquhar Knob and the Devilfish Lookout Tower, providing vantage points over Devilfish Lake and Chester Lake. This 2011 survey captures the region's character as a managed wilderness, where the Swamp River and Mons Creek drain a complex system of bogs and basins. Traces of local geography such as Portage Falls and Lost Lake reflect a terrain largely shaped by its hydrology and the forestry roads that pierce the interior.
