From Rhinelander to the back roads
Rhinelander is the county seat, and Cassian, Crescent, Enterprise, and Hazelhurst are among the other towns on the county map.

Outside Cassian, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts. Oneida County was organized in 1887, so deeds for older farms near Little Rice can run back a long way.
