2013 Map of Loretta

About this map

Loretta and Draper serve as the primary human hubs in this northern Wisconsin landscape, situated along the corridor of Wi-70. The map reveals a region defined by its complex hydrology, where the East Fork Chippewa River meanders in the north while the Thornapple River and Brunet River drain the southern and central reaches. Local commerce and recreation are anchored by water bodies like Blaisdell Lake and Loretta Lake, while the presence of the Brunet Lookout Tower and Draper Tower indicates the area's history of forest management and fire observation. The road network, including Cohwy-GG and various forest roads such as Forest R 161, provides access to hunting and fishing locations like Deer Haven Camp. This detailed survey preserves the early 21st-century layout of small settlements surrounded by the dense woods and wetlands of Sawyer County.
