About this map

The Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway and the winding Namekagon River anchor this 2019 view of the Northwoods at the border of Bayfield and Sawyer Counties. This glacial landscape is heavily forested, falling largely within the Chequamegon National Forest. The map captures a network of recreation and transport, from the high point at Mt-Telemark to the Esker Trail winding through the moraine.

Remote water bodies like Lake Tahkodah, Star Lake, and the curiously named Filling Shed Lake dot the map, many reached only by fire lanes and forest roads. The presence of the Cable Union Airport indicates the modern accessibility of this wilderness area. The detailed hydrography, including Fivemile Cr and Cap Cr, highlights the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this protected river corridor.
