About this map

Lake Chippewa dominates the landscape of this Sawyer County region, where the Chippewa River feeds into a complex system of bays and smaller lakes. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern layout of the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation, anchored by the settlements of Reserve and New Post. The map reveals a high concentration of water bodies including Chief Lake, Gurno Lake, and Lac Courte Oreilles, reflecting the glacial geography of northern Wisconsin.

Infrastructure is centered around tribal and community institutions, most notably the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwa Community College. Local history is anchored by the Round Lake Cem located near Little Round Lake. The network of local roads, such as Co RD B and Resvn Hwy 6, connects these lakeside communities and provides access to the numerous bays, including Ikwe Bay, Chicago Bay, and Richardson Bay.
