About this map

Thornapple River and its tributary, the Little Thornapple River, dominate this landscape of the Wisconsin Northwoods. The survey illustrates a region defined by managed timberlands and wildlife habitats, including the Winter State Forest and the Silvernail State Wildlife Management Area. A network of logging-era remnants and water features is evident, with the Winter Trail cutting through the northern reaches near Old Winter Camp.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Flambeau River flows past the Cedar Rapids, marking the boundary between Sawyer and Rusk counties. Geologists and local historians can note the specific placement of isolated landmarks like Hay Stack Corner and the numerous small water bodies such as Thornapple Spring and Bass Creek that feed the larger river systems. The map's detailed topography reveals the low-lying character of the Big Swamp and several Gravel Pits indicative of local resource extraction.
