2018 Map of Moose Lake

About this map

Moose Lake and Lost Land Lake anchor this portion of the Chequamegon National Forest in Sawyer County. The landscape is defined by the complex aquatic network of the West Fork Chippewa River and the Teal River, which feed into major flowages and glacial lakes. This environment is punctuated by numerous named islands, such as Folson Island and Paradise Island, suggesting a long-standing recreational and seasonal residency pattern in the Northwoods. A notable feature of the local road network is the label Fish Trap, indicating specific points of access or historical landmarks along the water's edge. From Ghost Lake in the north to the southern reaches of the Chippewa, the map details a region where water management, through features like the Balsam Cr Flowage, has shaped the contemporary geography.
