2018 Map of Clam Lake SW

About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses this section of the Northwoods, where the border of Sawyer and Ashland counties runs through a dense network of glacial lakes and river systems. The West Fork Chippewa River and the Torch River drain the northern reaches of the quadrangle, while the Little Moose River and Moose River wind through the central and southern portions. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, including smaller water bodies like Cattail Lake, Ike Lake, and Kelly Lake. The presence of numerous creeks such as Fishtrap Cr and Black Cr highlights the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this forested landscape, which remains largely undeveloped and defined by its natural water features.
