About this map

Chequamegon National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this landscape in Bayfield County, defined by its high elevation points and recreational development in the mid-1960s. The Mt Valhalla Ski Area and the Washburn Lookout serve as primary landmarks in the north, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by several water bodies including Twin Lakes and Crystal Lake.

A network of historical transport routes is visible through the Old Railroad Grade which snakes through the forest, hinting at the region's earlier logging and industrial history. Land use is further documented through specialized zones like the Washburn Ranger District and developed recreation sites such as the Birch Grove Campground and the Long Lake Picnic Area. Drainage patterns are captured by the N Fk Whittlesey Cr and Fourmile Creek, providing a detailed look at the watershed before later 20th-century modifications.
