About this map

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest dominates this Sawyer County landscape, where the Chippewa River and its West Fork carve through a densely wooded lake country. This 2005 revision highlights the complex hydrology of the region, anchored by the expansive waters of Moose Lake, Teal Lake, and Ghost Lake. The forest infrastructure is evident in the network of service roads like Moose Lake Road and Tews Road, which provide access to numerous recreational points including multiple boat ramps and the West Fork Lookout.

Beyond the major lakes, smaller water bodies such as Snipe Lake, Lunch Lake, and Partridge Crop Lake dot the map, alongside several named islands like Paradise Island and Wolf Island. A designated Wetland Habitat Area near Balsam Creek signifies the ecological priorities of the era, while the presence of a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary points to the localized resource extraction necessary for maintaining the forest's transportation network.
