About this map

Glacial lake clusters and winding waterways define this northern Wisconsin landscape as it appeared in 2010. The Saint Croix Flowage and Saint Croix River dominate the northern portion of the quadrangle, while the Totagatic River snakes through the southeastern corner. This area is characterized by an intricate network of water bodies, ranging from the large Cranberry Lake and Bardon Lake to the interconnected chain of Upper Kimball Lake, Middle Kimball Lake, and Lower Kimball Lake. Small creeks like Sheosh Creek and Buckley Creek drain the surrounding timberlands, feeding into the primary river systems.

Residential and recreational development is evidenced by the density of local roads and landings, particularly around Crystal Lake and Loon Lake. The map shows a transition from larger flowage systems to more secluded basins such as Person Lake and Snipe Lake. For those interested in the hydrology of Douglas County, the sheet clearly delineates the complex drainage patterns and the many named landings, including E Cranberry Landing Rd.
