About this map

The confluence of Northwoods waterways defines this landscape in Sawyer County, where the Flambeau River and Thornapple River carve through a heavily forested region. At the southeastern corner, Babbs Island sits as a prominent landform within the Flambeau, serving as a primary landmark for this sparsely settled territory. The area is characterized by an intricate drainage network including Beaver Cr, Boss Cr, and Long Cr, which flow through the timberlands.

Transportation in the early 21st century relied on a grid of rural routes and county highways. Co Hwy-W and N Co Hwy-M provide the main corridors for transit, while local access is maintained through named tracks like Bear Lane Rd, Oconnel Rd, and Hibbening Rd. This map captures a snapshot of the region's hydrography and road development before more recent changes in the northern Wisconsin wilderness.
