2013 Map of Winchester

About this map

The Turtle River and the Manitowish River define the intricate waterways of this northern Wisconsin landscape. Centered on the settlement of Winchester, the terrain is dominated by a dense concentration of glacial lakes, ranging from the large expanses of Fisher Lake and Twin Lakes to smaller, distinct bodies such as Circle Lily Lake and Lake Adelaide. The road network, including Co Hwy-W and Us-51, connects these water bodies to the community of Manitowish Waters in the south. Local landmarks like Agony Point Rd and W Rock Lake Rd provide specific geographical markers for those studying the residential and recreational development of Iron County. The map captures the area's transition into the 21st century, showing how infrastructure such as the Manitowish River Access Rd has been integrated into the natural lake-and-river system.
