2015 Map of Zoar

About this map

Zoar and the surrounding woodlands define this part of the Menominee Indian Reservation where Langlade, Shawano, and Menominee counties meet. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of water bodies, including Lake Neconish, Lake Noseum, and Lake Elma, which drain into the meandering Little W Br Wolf River. To the west, the Red River flows southward through the terrain, while the settlement of Red Springs serves as a local landmark. A complex system of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as BIA Rte 165 and BIA Rte 128, provides access across the glaciated topography. This 2015 survey illustrates how traditional indigenous land boundaries and modern infrastructure coexist, preserving the natural hydrological features like Niobe Lake and the Upper Reservoir that remain vital to the region's geography.
