About this map

Lake Chippewa dominates this northern Wisconsin landscape, its irregular shoreline and numerous islands creating a complex aquatic environment within the Chippewa Flowage. The settlement of New Post serves as a primary southern anchor for the area, connected by Co HWY-CC to local landmarks such as Hermans Landing and the Blueberry Campground. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways including the West Fork Chippewa River, Blueberry Creek, and Spooky Bay Cr, alongside oddly named landforms like Pork Barrel Island and Little Banana Island.

The presence of numerous family and descriptive names for points and bays, such as Slivers Point, Kavanagh Bay, and Rudys Island, suggests a long history of local recreational and residential use. From the northern reaches of Callahan Lake down to the southern marshes of Blueberry Lake, the survey documents a region defined by its timber and water resources, accessible via a web of forest and county roads such as Forest RD 315 and Co HWY-B.
