2015 Map of Bean Lake

About this map

The Namekagon River snakes through the northern reaches of this landscape, defining the transition between Washburn and Sawyer counties. This glacial terrain is densely packed with water bodies, from the central anchor of Bean Lake to the more secluded Devils Lake and King Lake. The mapping reveals a network of rural routes such as Co Rd E and Stone Lake Rd that navigate the varied topography of marshes and kettle lakes. These water features, including Tripp Lake and Colbroth Lake, are connected by a system of small drainages like Bean Brook and Godfrey Cr. The concentration of named lakes and creeks reflects the importance of the regional watershed and its role in the local geography during the early twenty-first century.
