1971 Map of Blaisdell Lake

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the northern half of this Wisconsin landscape, where the Hayward and Glidden Ranger Districts meet at the Ashland and Sawyer County line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and waterways, centered on the winding East Fork Chippewa River. The presence of several recreational hubs, including the We Ha Kee Church Camp on Hunter Lake and the Glenwood Camp on Blaisdell Lake, reflects the mid-century development of this region as a destination for outdoor retreat. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, larger bodies of water like Barber Lake and Black Dan Lake are connected by smaller streams such as Boyd Creek, while a dedicated Snowmobile Trail cuts across the southeast corner near the Brunet River.
