2015 Map of Dunn Lake

About this map

The Namekagon River snakes across this northern Wisconsin landscape, feeding into Trego Lake in the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. This area of Washburn County is defined by its glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, where named bodies like Island Lake, Dunn Lake, and McKinley Lake punctuate the timbered terrain. The distribution of homesteads and local roads, such as Pierce Homestd Rd, reflects a history of rural settlement and recreational land use tied to the water. In the northwest, the Rosewood Cem on Rosewood Rd provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The hydrography is particularly complex, featuring the Casey Creek Flowage and numerous springs like Boyle Brook Spring, indicating a high water table and a landscape still heavily influenced by its original drainage patterns.
