About this map

Glacial lakes and winding waterways dominate this portion of Washburn County, where the Totagatic River and Stuntz Brook carve through a landscape of dense pine and hardwood forests. The area is defined by its significant water bodies, ranging from the large expanse of Lake Nancy to the Minong Flowage 2WP252 Dam in the north. Settlement is concentrated along a network of local roads such as Nancy Lake Rd and County Hwy J, supporting seasonal residences and recreational access to the numerous shorelines.

Local history and community infrastructure are visible in landmarks like the Chicog Cemetery and Ben Sutherland Airport. Near the southern edge, the Namekagon River flows past Byekits Landing, illustrating the region's long-standing connection to river-based transportation and recreation. The proximity of Chicog Lake, McLain Lake, and Matthews Lake highlights a complex drainage pattern that has shaped land use and property boundaries in this northern Wisconsin woodland for generations.
