2010 Map of Hayward

About this map

The Namekagon River serves as the central artery for this portion of Sawyer County, winding past the community of Phipps and through the city of Hayward. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, with Nelson Lake dominating the northern territory and smaller basins like Indian School Lake and Little Round Lake scattered throughout. Grounded in the early 21st century, the map documents the transition from wilder riparian zones to settled infrastructure, including the Hayward Municipal Airport and the Hayward WP119 Dam. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Trinity Cemetery near Phipps and the Indian Cemetery further south, while the Hayward Fire Tower stands as a landmark of regional forest management. The presence of Lenroot Landing on the northern shore of Nelson Lake highlights the area's established role as a destination for water-based activities and woodland access.
