About this map

The East Fork Chippewa River defines the landscape of the Chequamegon National Forest during the early 1970s. This survey focuses on the hydrology of Sawyer County, notably the Winter Dam and its role in the formation of Lake Chippewa. The map documents the northern reaches of the Lac Courte Oreilles Indian Reservation Boundary, where it intersects with the Hayward Ranger District.

Lake navigation is detailed through various access points, including the Boat Ramp near the river and Boat Access at Two Axe Lake. Notable island landmarks such as Big Timber Island and Wagon Wheel Island stand out within the vast waters of the flowage. Significant timber and recreation lands are bounded by the civil divisions of Hunter, Round Lake, Ojibwa, and Winter, providing a clear view of land use before later developments in the Northwoods.
