About this map

The Namekagon River winds south through this corner of the Wisconsin northwoods, passing through the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway and the Chequamegon National Forest. The village of Cable serves as the central hub of this landscape, supported by the Cable Union Airport and smaller rail-related sites like Radspur and Leonards. Steeped in local history, the area near the village includes the Saint Anne Cem and Greenwood Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research in Bayfield County.

Glacial activity is evident in the dense concentration of kettle lakes, from the large expanse of Lake Owen and Wiley Lake in the north to Pacwawong Lake and Silverthorn Lake near the Sawyer County line. In the eastern portion of the map, the elevation rises toward Mt Telemark, a prominent landform that influenced the local recreation and drainage patterns. Rural roads like Namakagon River Rd and Ole Lake Rd connect the scattered settlements and lakeside properties, reflecting the area's development as a timber and outdoor destination.
