About this map

Winchester and the surrounding lake country of northern Wisconsin define this 2010 landscape, where an intricate network of waterways connects deep into the woods. The Turtle River flows through a chain of bodies including North Turtle Lake and South Turtle Lake, while the Manitowish River cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle near Manitowish Waters. Water management is evident through landmarks like Shea Dam and the Rest Lake Dam, which regulate the levels of these vast glacial basins.

Transportation patterns reflect a mix of modern access and historical industrial roots. While County HWY-W serves as a primary artery, the presence of Old RR Grade Rd indicates the path of former logging or transport lines that once moved timber through the region. From the secluded waters of Circle Lily Lake to the prominent Fox Island, the map documentation captures a specific era of recreation and conservation in the Northwoods.
