About this map

White Sand Lake dominates the central landscape of this Vilas County region, part of a dense network of glacial water bodies and seasonal creeks. The northern reaches are defined by the Manitowish River and the winding course of Nixon Creek, while the southern landscape is characterized by deep woods and isolated springs such as Allequash Springs and Bear Springs. This 2013 survey illustrates a quiet recreational area where human footprint is largely confined to secondary roads like Co Hwy-K and Razorback Rd.

Highland Camp serves as a lone named settlement node near the shores of Plum Lake in the southeast corner. The map reveals a land preserved for outdoor study and recreation, with numerous lakes such as Pallette Lake, Escanaba Lake, and Nebish Lake connected by small waterways like White Birch Cr. The abundance of logging roads and local connectors reflects the long-standing forestry and lake-resort traditions of northern Wisconsin.
