2013 Map of Kennedy

About this map

Kennedy stands as the primary settlement on this Northwoods landscape, situated where Co Hwy-E meets the local road network. The geography is defined by a complex drainage system flowing toward the southern border, where the Flambeau River passes near Oxbo Lake and Butternut Creek. Forested lands are crisscrossed by numerous forest roads, including Forest Rd 161 and Forest Rd 307, which provide access to a series of glacial lakes and small waterways. These features, such as Round Lake, Lake Annie, and Lake Alice, illustrate the wetland character of the Sawyer County interior. The presence of a small Reservoir on Pine Creek suggests local water management for this timber-rich region. To the south, Wi-70 and Old Hwy 70 run parallel, indicating the evolution of the primary east-west transportation corridor through the Wisconsin woods.
