About this map

Glacial lakes and meandering waterways dominate this portion of Washburn County, where the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway protects the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by its density of named water bodies, including the large Lake Nancy and Chicog Lake, which are interconnected by complex drainage systems such as the Totagatic River and Stuntz Brook.

Local infrastructure centers on scattered development around the shorelines, served by a network of county roads and trails like St Croix Trail Rd. Cultural and historical markers are relatively sparse, though the Chicog Cem and the Ben Sutherland Airport near Gilmore Lake provide specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The map illustrates a rural environment where land use is dictated by the water, from the wetlands surrounding McLain Lake to the secluded Horseshoe Lake.
