2022 Map of White Sand Lake

About this map

White Sand Lake and the winding Manitowish River define this glacial landscape in Vilas County. This modern survey illustrates a region dominated by interconnected waterways and protected lands, where small lakes like Lost Canoe Lake, Pallette Lake, and Escanaba Lake are separated by narrow ridges and dense forest cover. The hydrology of the area is intricate, with White Sand Creek and Allequash Creek feeding into larger basins, while Allequash Springs serves as a notable natural point of interest for those studying the local water table. A network of primitive and secondary roads, such as Co Hwy K and Escanaba Lake Rd, provides access to the shorelines of Nixon Lake and Starrett Lake. The map reveals a transition between established thoroughfares and remote logging tracks, reflecting the area's history as a destination for seasonal recreation and timber management.
