About this map

Birchwood serves as the primary hub of this northern Wisconsin landscape, situated at the meeting point of four counties. The village is surrounded by a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands, including the sprawling Lake Chetac and the smaller Sugarbush Lake. This mid-2010s survey captures a mix of recreational and aviation utility, featuring the uniquely named Will-Be-Gone Airport and Florida North Airport nearby.

Tracing through the southern portion of the quadrangle is a segment of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, winding past Stouts Point. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by Woodlawn Cemetery and numerous family-named water bodies like Garbutt Lake, Bodins Lake, and Vollmers Lake. The geography is defined by its erratic water patterns, where land features like Garbutt Island and Stouts Point offer prominent landmarks amidst the myriad of interconnected basins and marshes.
