About this map

Namekagon River and St Croix River define this Northwoods landscape, winding through the Chequamegon National Forest. This 2005 revision shows the town of Cable as a focal point for the region, complete with the Cable Union Airport and the nearby Greenwood Cem. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes including Wiley Lake, Pocuawong Lake, and Owen Lake, many of which are connected by forest roads and fire lanes.

The presence of the St Croix National Scenic Riverway and the Big Brook Semi-Primitive Non-Motorized Area reflects the era's focus on conservation and outdoor recreation. Notable local landmarks like Mount Telemark stand out against the wooded topography, while small named settlements such as Leopards and Radapur provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family footprints in the Washburn Ranger District.
