Manitowish Waters

Manitowish Waters 736
Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, is located in Vilas County on (or just off) US Highway 51 about 45 miles northwest of Rhinelander. There may not be more than a handful of people who live in the settlement proper. It seems to have been named for the river, but other than sounding like an Indian name, I don't know where that comes from either.
