About this map

Chequamegon National Forest dominates the landscape of this Sawyer County region, where the East Fork Chippewa River carves a winding path through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. The waterway system is complex, including the expansive Blaisdell Lake and Fishtrap Lake 161, which are fed by smaller tributaries like Fishtrap Cr and Snoose Cr. This 2015 survey illustrates the modern recreational and conservation character of the area, defined by its numerous named water bodies such as Barber Lake, Hunter Lake, and Black Dan Lake.

Loggers and outdoor enthusiasts can trace the intricate system of access roads, including Black Lake Rd and Fishtrap Lake Rd, that navigate the timbered terrain. The settlement pattern is sparse, concentrated primarily near the water's edge, as seen at Loretta Lake in the southeast. This map captures the enduring wild character of the Wisconsin Northwoods, where the Brunet River and various lake chains remain the primary geographic anchors for the community.
