2022 Map of Hogsback Creek

About this map

The Brunet River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape, marking a heavily glaciated region where the border of Sawyer and Rusk County meets in the south. This area is defined by its complex hydrography, featuring a dense network of waterways including the Little Thornapple River and Thornapple River that drain through extensive wetlands. The transport patterns reflect a long history of timber management and rural development, notably along Bissell Grade Rd and Hogsback Rd. The lack of dense settlements suggests a landscape largely devoted to forestry or conservation, with named creeks like Nail Cr and Elm Cr serving as the primary landmarks between isolated rural tracks. Surveyed for the U.S. Geological Survey, this sheet provides a high-resolution view of the drainage patterns and secondary road networks as they existed in the early 21st century.
