2011 Map of Wheeler Lake

About this map

Wheeler Lake and the surrounding Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest region define this landscape, where a dense network of forest roads and glacial lakes creates a distinct recreation-oriented geography. The map captures the area just south of the community of Lakewood, featuring significant water bodies such as Waubee Lake, John Lake, and the expansive Munger Lake. Of particular interest to local historians is the Wheeler Lake Swimming Beach and the specialized infrastructure of the Lakewood Country Club Airport, which serve the seasonal and resident population. The hydrological character of Oconto County is well-represented by the North Branch Oconto River and its various tributaries like McCaslin Brook and Snow Falls Creek. Notable terrain features including Deer Island and Virgin Island within the primary lake add detail to the shoreline mapping, while a web of named forest routes like Cotton Tail Ln and National Forest Road 2101 provides a detailed look at the modern access patterns through this wooded lake country.
