About this map

The East Fork Chippewa River and Brunet River wind through this heavily glaciated corridor of Sawyer County, defining a landscape of interconnected basins and wetlands. This 2013 survey illustrates a region largely dedicated to seasonal recreation and conservation, centered on significant water bodies like Blaisdell Lake, Island Lake, and the expansive Black Lake. The distribution of seasonal settlements and facilities, such as Glenwood Camp and the We Ha Kee Church Camp, suggests a community long shaped by its proximity to the water's edge.

Local navigation relies on a network of forest roads and local routes like Black Lake Rd and N Blaisdell Lake Rd, which provide access to more isolated waters such as Fishtrap Lake 161 and Snoose Lake. The presence of the Black Lake Campground underscores the area's role as a retreat within the Northwoods, while family-named roads like Hagen Rd and Rathke Rd hint at the private landholdings and camps that punctuate the shoreline of Loretta Lake and Barber Lake.
