2015 Map of Horseshoe Lake

About this map

The Totagatic River and its various flowages define the north-central Wisconsin landscape of Washburn County. This region is a dense network of glacial water bodies, from the large Lake Nancy and Chicog Lake to the secluded Cloverleaf Lake and Adventure Lake. Local history is anchored by the Chicog Cem and the Ben Sutherland Airport situated near Gilmore Lake. The southern edge of the survey area includes the protected corridor of the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway as it follows the Namekagon River. Local transit relies on a grid of county roads and named trails like St Croix Trail Rd and Old Log Cabin Rd, which provide access to family-owned parcels and lakeside developments. The drainage pattern of Chicog Cr and Stuntz Brook highlights the complex hydrology that has historically shaped the settlement of this northwoods territory.
