About this map

Thornapple River winds through this heavily forested and wetland-rich landscape of Sawyer County, as surveyed in 2022. The waterway is part of a complex hydrographic network that includes Beaver Cr, Bear Cr, and Bass Cr, which feed into the larger river systems of northern Wisconsin. In the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, Babbs Island sits within the Flambeau River, serving as a prominent geographical landmark in an area defined by its glacial hydrology.

While the region lacks dense urban settlements, the land is etched with a network of rural routes and specialized roads. Names like Slattery Rd, Easterhouse Rd, and Tepaske Ln suggest long-standing local ties, while numerous Logging Rd segments reflect the area's timber-related land use. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional boundaries between Townships 38 and 39 North, showing how modern access roads follow the early established grid lines.
