About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape, where the East Fork Chippewa River winds westward toward the expansive waters of Lake Chippewa. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the secluded Venison Lake, Tamarack Lake, and Goose Lake. Local recreation and historical passage are evident in the naming of Fish Trap Trl and the Riverside Trails that skirt the riverbanks.

Water levels and shoreline features like Cranberry Narrows and Moses Bay reflect the managed character of the Chippewa flowage system. Navigation around Wagon Wheel Island and the residential clusters near Barker Lake shows the intersection of the timber-legacy wilderness with modern seasonal settlement. Roads such as Co Hwy W and Circle B Rd provide the primary access to this interior portion of Sawyer County.
