2015 Map of Lake Winter

About this map

Lake Winter and the surrounding Sawyer County wetlands dominate this landscape, showing a complex network of glacial hydrology and managed timberlands. The Brunet River meanders from the north, feeding into the lake near Dam Rd, while the Thornapple River carves through the southeastern corner. This area is characterized by its dense distribution of family-named roads, such as Hanson Rd, Olson Rd, and Sundling Rd, which provide access to the various tributaries including Deadman Cr and Tupper Cr. The presence of these named thoroughfares amidst the creek systems reflects a long-standing history of local land use and rural settlement patterns. In the north, Barber Lake and Island Cr highlight the water-rich environment that has defined the region's character for generations of residents and visitors alike.
