2015 Map of White Potato Lake

About this map

White Potato Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this landscape along the border of Marinette and Oconto counties. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial lakes and slow-moving waterways, including the North Branch and West Branch of the Peshtigo Brook. Scattered throughout the lakeside terrain are local landmarks such as Brazeau Cemetery and several small, named bodies of water like Gilas Lake, Heisel Lake, and Bahlert Lake. The northern sections of the map show a structured grid of forest roads, including Forest Road 1626 and Forest Road 1607, which provide access to Grass Lake and Thunder Lake. This survey illustrates the 21st-century configuration of these Northwoods communities, where residential development often follows the shoreline of White Potato Lake while large swaths of the surrounding territory remain preserved as wooded marshland.
