2013 Map of Colburn

About this map

Colburn sits at the heart of this Northwoods landscape, where a dense network of tributaries feeds the Yellow River. The area is defined by its watercourses, including the meandering paths of Big Drywood Cr and Little Drywood Cr, which drain the surrounding woodlands and agricultural plots. Pike Lake serves as a prominent local landmark in the northwestern quadrant, connected to the broader hydrologic system via Pike Cr. The settlement pattern follows a rigid section-line grid, though roads like Quimet Hills Rd and River Rd deviate to accommodate the natural terrain and river bends. This survey documents the rural character of Chippewa County in the early 21st century, showing a mix of established family-named routes such as Nerdrum Rd and Lancor Rd alongside the primary transit corridors of Co Hwy-D and Co Hwy-S.
