About this map

The Namekagon River winds southward through this 2011 survey of Bayfield County, serving as the central geographic artery for the settlement at Cable. The village is established at a critical junction of roads and rail, flanked to the west by the Greenwood Cemetery and Saint Anne Cemetery. Further south, smaller stops at Radspur and Leonards suggest the historical importance of the transportation corridor following the river valley.

The eastern terrain is dominated by the elevations of Mount Telemark, which hosts the Mount Telemark SkiArea and the Mount Telemark Winter Sports Area. This glacial landscape is densely pockmarked with kettle lakes, including the sprawling Lake Owen in the northeast and Pacwawong Lake to the south. The presence of the Seeley Lookout Tower reflects the managed forest character of the region, while named roads like Ponders Point Rd and Krafts Point Rd indicate long-standing residential and resort development around the many waterfronts.
