2010 Map of Chief Lake

About this map

Chief Lake and the winding Chippewa River anchor this landscape in Sawyer County, where a dense network of water bodies defines the local geography. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of Squaw Lake and the larger expanse of Round Lake to the north, which is home to the Round Lake Cemetery. The area is characterized by these interconnected glacial lakes and small creeks, including Squaw Lake Creek, which feed into the larger river system. A web of local roads, such as County Hwy NN and Worlds End Rd, connects the scattered residential properties and recreational areas along the lakefronts. To the west, the map captures a portion of Lac Courte Oreilles, further emphasizing the region's character as a primary northern water system. The layout of county highways and local routes illustrates how development has historically followed the natural contours of the lakeshores.
