This 2016 survey captures a region primarily utilized for timber and recreation, where namesake features like Cabin Lake and Bluebill Lake are connected by forest routes such as Tomahawk and the General Grade. The presence of Cramer Homestead Lake in the southern portion suggests the footprint of early settlers in this remote woodland.
