About this map

Chittamo marks the southern reach of this northern Wisconsin landscape, where the border between Douglas and Washburn counties bisects a complex network of glacial lakes and waterways. The Totagatic River flows through the southern half of the map, widening into the Colton Flowage, while the Eau Claire River cuts across the northern section. This area is characterized by a dense concentration of named water bodies, including Mulligan Lake, Sauntrys Pocket Lake, and Mahogany Marsh Lake, which are interconnected by smaller streams such as Snake Cr and the Quince River.

A series of local roads and trails, such as Lidberg Bridge Rd and Copper Mine Rd, provide access to these isolated waters. The naming of features like Derosier Lake, Frahm Lake, and Haugen Lake suggests a history of local land use tied to specific families. The terrain's heavy saturation of wetlands and marshes, particularly around Black Brook, underscores the drainage patterns that define this part of the Northwoods.
