About this map

The settlement of Butternut serves as the focal point for this northern Wisconsin landscape, situated along the Wi-13 corridor. The geography is defined by a dense network of waterways and glacial lakes, with the East Fork Chippewa River cutting through the northern reaches. The area around the town site is characterized by significant water features including Parker Lake and the winding Butternut Cr, while the surrounding terrain is dotted with smaller bodies of water such as Little Butternut Lake, Lindbergh Lake, and Cycle Lake.

Tracing the rural road system reveals a mix of firefighting access and local connectors, including Masterson Fire Ln and McCarthy Rd. These routes provide access to the remote creeks and wetlands like Hildebrandt Cr and Schraum Cr that feed into the larger river system. This survey illustrates the modern layout of Ashland County's timber and lake country, balancing concentrated settlement with expansive natural water resources.
