About this map

The Chequamegon National Forest defines the character of this Sawyer County landscape, where the East Fork Chippewa River meanders through a dense network of glacial lakes and wetlands. This waterway connects several prominent bodies of water, including Blaisdell Lake and Fishtrap Lake, which have historically served as focal points for northwoods recreation and local travel. The presence of numerous named trails, such as the Black Lake Trl and Fish Trap Trl, highlights the area's transition from early timber access to modern forest management and conservation.

Smaller water bodies like Island Lake, Barber Lake, and Black Lake are tucked into the township boundaries of t40n r5w and t40n r4w, surrounded by forest service roads and local routes like Hunter Lake Rd and Blaisdell Lake Rd. The map also captures the confluence where the Brunet River enters from the south, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Fishtrap Cr watershed before it joins the larger Chippewa system.
