About this Map
This carefully drawn, artful map showcases Nelson Lake in Sawyer County, Wisconsin, a sprawling and irregular Northwoods lake shaped by numerous bays, points, islands, and narrow passages. Big Island forms a striking centerpiece, with the lake wrapping around it and branching into long arms to the north, east, and west. Detailed bathymetric contours reveal the changing depths and underwater structure, while surrounding forests, wetlands, roads, homes, boat ramps, and the nearby Totagatic River place the lake within its broader landscape. Nelson Lake also supports a varied fishery, including northern pike, walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and yellow perch, making it a distinctive destination for anglers and anyone with a connection to this beautiful part of northern Wisconsin.
