About this map

New Post sits at the edge of the expansive Lake Chippewa shoreline, a central point of activity within the Chequamegon National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the intricate waterways of the Chippewa River system, including the West Fork Chippewa River and the East Fork Chippewa River. These rivers feed into a complex network of wetlands and reservoirs, notably Chippewa Flowage 763.

Navigation through this water-rich environment is defined by named passages like Cranberry Narrows and distinctive landmarks such as Wagon Wheel Island. Forest roads and local routes like Barker Lake Rd and Hunter Lake Rd provide access to smaller water bodies including Two Axe Lake and Venison Lake. This mid-2010s survey reveals a region deeply tied to its glacial hydrology and managed timberlands, where recreational landmarks like Barker Lake exist alongside the protected boundaries of the national forest.
