About this map

The Lac Courte Oreilles Indian Reservation Boundary defines much of this Northwoods landscape, where water and conservation land predominate. The small settlement of Hauer sits at the center of a dense network of lakes and springs, including Whitefish Lake, Sissabagama Lake, and the sprawling Billy Boy Flowage. These waters are connected by the Couderay River and smaller tributaries like Hauer Creek and Summit Creek.

Evidence of the region's infrastructure and recreational transition is visible through the presence of the Soo Line railroad and the Tuscobia State Park Falls Trail. For researchers and genealogists, the map preserves specific points of interest such as the Wayside Chapel, the Sand Lake Lookout Tower, and the Billy Boy Dam, alongside several state wildlife management areas including Hauer Springs and Benson Creek.
