About this map

Exeland sits at the southwestern edge of this Northwoods landscape, where the local road network centers on Railroad St. This area of Sawyer County is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the confluence of the Chippewa River and the Couderay River in the north, while the Brunet River meanders through the central and southern reaches. The terrain is dotted with numerous glacial lakes, including Windfall Lake, Jacques Lake, and White Birch Lake, many of which are surrounded by extensive wetlands.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several distinct burial sites, including the Exeland Cem, Mennonite Cem, and Bellile Cem. The transition from Sawyer County into Rusk County is marked at the southern boundary, where Little Weirgor Cr and Nail Cr flow through the timbered tracts. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern where family names are preserved in the thoroughfares, such as Dantzman Rd, Bednarski Ln, and Wojcik Rd, reflecting the community's mid-20th-century development.
