2015 Map of Upper Eau Claire Lake

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the eastern half of this terrain, where the northern Wisconsin woods are defined by an intricate network of glacial kettle lakes and springs. Centered around Upper Eau Claire Lake, the landscape is a mosaic of water bodies including Robinson Lake, Sweet Lake, and the smaller Mountain Lake to the northeast. This area, managed under the forest service's jurisdiction, is traversed by an extensive system of forest roads and local routes like Co Hwy N and Co Hwy A, indicating its role as a recreational and timber resource. Grounded in the hydrology of the region, the map traces the Ounce River and Mulligan Creek as they flow through the timberland. Notable local water sources like Shunenberg Springs, Hyatt Spring, and Bearsdale Springs point to the subterranean richness of the glacial till, while the Eau Claire Lakes Airport serves as a remote aviation link for this lake-dotted corridor of Bayfield County.
