About this map

Lake Winter and the surrounding forestlands of Sawyer County are defined by a complex network of glacial hydrology and recreational corridors. The Tuscobia State Trl cuts across the northern landscape, following a legacy path through the woods north of the lake. This waterway-rich terrain is fed by the Brunet River and the winding Thornapple River, which meander through wetlands and dense timber in the townships of T39N and T38N.

The presence of numerous family-named roads, such as Larson Rd, Kadin Rd, and Hanson Rd, indicates a long-standing pattern of rural residential settlement and timber access. From the shores of Barber Lake in the north down to the drainage of Deadman Cr and Tupper Cr, the map captures a landscape where public recreation and private landholdings intersect along the edges of the Wisconsin Northwoods.
