About this map

Hayward serves as the focal point of this Northwoods landscape, where the Soo Line railroad passes through the heart of the settlement. The area is defined by the winding Namekagon River, which is protected as part of the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. To the north, the massive Nelson Lake dominates the terrain, featuring notable landmarks like Big Island and Tannings Point.

Tracing the rural roads north toward Phipps reveals a network of water-based features, including Phipps Spring and the Trinity Cem. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the region, from the Sawyer County Airport near Indian School Lake to the scattered springs and brooks like Mosquito Brook and Turk Spring. This survey captures the modern balance of recreational waters, small-town infrastructure, and federal river conservation.
