About this map

The Totagatic River State Wildlife Management Area anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the Totagatic Flowage and the meandering Totagatic River define the local hydrology. This 1970s survey captures a northwoods intersection of four Wisconsin counties—Douglas, Bayfield, Washburn, and Sawyer—across the townships of Gordon, Barnes, Wascott, Frog Creek, and Lenroot.

A network of smaller tributaries including O’Hara Creek, Haymaker Creek, and Cole Creek drain into the Ounce River, while isolated water bodies like Goose Lake are scattered throughout the timbered sections. Human activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits, a small Mine, and the presence of Frog Creek Road, reflecting an era of natural resource management and rural transit before major modern development. The map details the precise boundaries where these counties meet amidst a landscape of river rapids and low-lying brooks.
